Enterprising Tarneit In July last year, 16 Tarneit residents were given the opportunity to develop, plan and implement their business ideas through the Enterprising Tarneit Initiative. Tarneit is one of the fastest growing suburbs in Wyndham, with the population expected to double to 39,907 by 2021. Hence the increase need for local job opportunities. Enterprising Tarneit is a joint project by the Centre for Multicultural Youth and Scanlon Foundation and supported by Wyndham City, which aims to create new job opportunities by boosting the motivation, knowledge and skills of local entrepreneurs. Participants undertook a four-month program that includes intensive workshops, business skills training, learning with peers, mentoring and access to networks and business resources. The program concluded in October and a group of participants will be presenting the outcome and progress of their businesses to Council in May. Take pride of your nature strips Nature strips are an important part of Wyndham’s urban environment and can significantly increase the aesthetic and environmental appeal of our City’s local streets and neighbourhoods. It adds character to our property and the street that we live in. Nature strips also offer a range of benefits such as absorbing rainwater and reducing stormwater run-off. Likewise, it softens the effect of the harder surfaces such as road, footpath and driveway, making our properties more visually appealing. More importantly, nature strips can add to our properties’ value. This is why it is very important that as residents we look after our nature strips and take pride of our city’s natural setting. Residents are responsible for maintaining their nature strips which may include mowing, weeding and litter control.
