With many of us working from home, we’ve never seen so many people out on daily walks – Edgar’s Creek Secondary School oval certainly has been abuzz with exercise recently. Of course, we have also had quite a few new families move into the area. In fact, over 1,000 homes are occupied in the new Aurora estate now! We hope you have been giving your neighbours a little wave as you’re out and about and helping to make our new families feel welcome. We’re always looking for great community stories. If you would like to share a story, please get in touch with Clare Swanson at clare.swanson@lendlease.com What’s on Welcome IMMUNISATION SESSIONS Public Immunisation sessions are available at Galada Community Centre by appointment only. Immunisations are an essential service and will be running through Stage 4 restrictions with added protective measures for everyone’s safety. To learn more about immunisations, or to book a session, visit: https://www.whittlesea.vic.gov.au/health- safety/immunisation/public-immunisation-sessions/ If you are outside the 5km essential travel radius, you will still be able to attend if you have made a booking, as this is considered medical care.
