Expression Of Interest For Toolamba Community Postal Agent Service

As you are aware the current Australia Post Community Postal Agent (CPA) service is currently not available in Toolamba.

A meeting was recently held with two Australia Post CPA managers and members of the Toolamba and District Steering Committee to discuss the current lack of postal service in the Toolamba community and to come up with a plan to ensure Toolamba maintains a CPA.

In conclusion, it was decided that a CPA in Toolamba is essential and therefore the current licence is up for renewal.

Australia Post is looking for a committed, community minded individual to run the CPA from Toolamba.

Community postal agents offer basic postage assessment, stamp sales and over the counter mail acceptance, collection and delivery. They do not offer bill payment and banking. Operating hours are flexible, and can be done in split times, such as a morning opening and evening are available. A small financial incentive is offered, however a secure, central premises will need to be approved by Australia Post.

If you are interested in being the contractor for the Toolamba CPA service, please submit your initial Expression of Interest (EOI) to nancy.glasson@auspost.com.au and this can be discussed directly with Australia Post.

Please feel free to reach out to the committee if you need some basic information about this by emailing us at andrea.pogue@hotmail.com.

Regards, Toolamba and District Steering committee.

New Volunteer Group In Toolamba - Friends of Daunts Bend

The Toolamba & District Steering Committee is forming a new volunteer group in partnership with Parks Victoria called 'Friends of Daunts Bend'.

The aim of the volunteer group is to work with Parks Victoria on a range of projects and initiatives to help preserve, protect and develop our Toolamba Forest.

Friends of Daunts Bend will undertake initiatives including, but not limited to, providing sustainable recreational opportunities, highlighting and protecting historic and cultural areas of the forest, protecting native flora and fauna, supporting the repair of fencing and other forest maintenance such as walking tracks and environmental burn-offs. The group will work closely with Parks Victoria for funding applications to support all programs of works.

We are looking for interested people to join the group and help us get things underway as quickly as possible. If you wish to join, please contact Keith Bryant on keith.bryant01@bigpond.com. The volunteer application form (attached to the back of the newsletter) will also need to be completed and returned to Parks Victoria at volunteer@parks.vic.gov.au.
