THE RHYTHM OF CLAYTON
Colour, fun, entertainment, food and culture will all be part
of yet another huge Clayton Street Festival this month.
The festival is back again and celebrating its tenth year by
showcasing the diversity of the City of Monash with a
range of activities including an Arts and Crafts Workshop,
‘Envirozone’ hosted by gardening guru Vasili Kanidiadis from
Channel 31’s ‘Vasili’s Garden’ and a Cultural Coffee Tent, where
people can sample coffee from countries around the world,
including Ethiopia, Greece and Italy.
If you hear some loud banging in Clayton on February 26 don’t
worry, it’s the rhythmic beats of Tumbarumba (pictured with
Mayor Stefanie Perri) at the annual Clayton Street Festival.
The famous Melbourne-based Brazilian reggae rhythm group
will be taking to the Main Stage this year with their renowned
beat-laden performance sure to get your feet moving.
The popular Youth Zone returns with performances
at the Youth Stage, as well as interactive workshops and
a ‘Chill Out’ marquee.
There’s something for every member of the family with free
rides, market stalls, cultural food, street performers and the
traders of Clayton.
Monash Mayor Stefanie Perri said the festival was one of the
largest events on the Monash calendar.
“Each year the festival gets bigger and bigger and this year is no
exception, with such a wide array of exciting activities for the
whole family to enjoy,” Cr Perri said.
“The Clayton Festival is a showcase of the multicultural diversity
of Monash and brings our community together as part of a
thoroughly entertaining day.”
The Clayton Street Festival is taking place along the Clayton Rd
shopping strip from 12noon until 6pm on Sunday, 26 February
between Railway and Centre roads.
The Clayton Street Festival is sponsored by Monash Council,

MAKING A CLEANER
AND GREENER MONASH
Clean Up Australia Day is here again so grab your family and friends, pop on your
gloves and help Clean Up Monash.
For the seventh year running, Monash
residents will trek to local parks and
waterways to help remove litter from the
streets in March.
Monash Mayor Stefanie Perri said Clean
Up Australia Day provided a great
opportunity for residents to get out and
make a difference.
“The City of Monash has some of the
most pristine natural areas and we want
to keep them that way,” Cr Perri said.
Clean Up Australia Chairman Ian
Kiernan AO said all Australians should
pull together and do their bit to keep our
land healthy.
“Clean Up Australia Day is a simple
way you can help collect rubbish
and conserve our greatest resource –
Australia,” Mr Kiernan said.
There are currently four registered sites
in Monash that you can join on 4 March:
» Bogong Reserve, Bogong Avenue, Glen
Waverley. Meet at the Men’s Shed
9.30am-11am
» Scotchmans Creek, Regent Street,
Mount Waverley. Meet at Scotchmans
Creek Playground 9am-12pm
» Central Reserve, Cnr Springvale and
Waverley Roads, Glen Waverley. Meet

or visit www.monash.vic.gov.au or www.cleanup.org.au. |m|
ON THE RIGHT FOOTPATHS
Monash City Council has adopted the last part of its Footpath Trading and Access
Policy, ensuring our busy footpaths are accessible for all.
Council has agreed to introduce the policy into the Mount Waverley, Pinewood,
Clayton and other activity and neighbourhood centres, following several months of
consultation in 2011. Council also agreed to minor changes to the previously adopted
policy to better suit site conditions in Glen Waverley and Oakleigh.
Monash Mayor Stefanie Perri said the adopted policy would give traders, shoppers and
visitors to Monash’s trading precincts a fair go on the footpaths.
“Not only do these changes ensure that we make our busy shopping precincts accessible
to all, but it also brings our footpaths into line with most other municipalities in
Melbourne – making it easier for those who are vision impaired or have a disability,”
Cr Perri said.
The introduction of this policy follows the successful introduction of a Footpath
Trading & Access Policy in Glen Waverley and Oakleigh, ensuring footpath trading is
bought into line with accessibility and disability legislation.
Minor adjustments to the policy in these areas have also been made, which include
reducing the size of the kerb zone and increasing the size of the pedestrian zone and
trading zone in some cases.
In recent years, local governments across Australia have been rolling out new footpath
trading regulations due to legal obligations to comply with legislation in the Disability
Discrimination Act 1992 and Equal Opportunity Act 1985.
The adopted policy will come into effect on 1 July this year in areas other than Glen
Waverley and Oakleigh.
The Footpath Trading and Access Policy can be viewed online at www.monash.vic.gov.au. |m|
Thousands of people,
young and old, will
join Monash’s Clean
Up Australia Day
activities.

HOWZAT A NEW PAVILION

Every Australia Day, Council
conducts its largest citizenship
ceremony of the year. Many new
arrivals come to call Australia
home. They come from diverse
areas of the globe - Asia, Europe,
the Americas - to name just a few.
Since the early 1970s, the national
policy shift from a white Australia
to a multicultural Australia has
sought to recognise and celebrate
the ethnic and religious differences of all Australians. In recent
years, the City of Monash has become one of the most ethnically
and religiously diverse municipalities in Victoria.
At our last meeting of council, we decided to celebrate and
reward the richness of our diversity. Two of my colleagues
- Cr Jieh-Yung Lo and Cr Stephen Dimopoulos - passed
a wonderfully progressive report to introduce a number
of cultural diversity awards. These awards will recognise
individuals, organisations, service providers and businesses
in the City of Monash who are working to build a strong,
vibrant, safe, healthy and inclusive community.
The awards will raise greater awareness and understanding about
cultural diversity and best practice models that relate to social
inclusion and harmony in the City of Monash. Several examples
already exist. Multi-faith spaces, translator services, cultural
nights and calls for nomination will open on National Harmony
Day on 21 March 2012. They will be advertised in the local and
ethnic press, in local community groups, libraries, local radio
and ethnic radio. We have much to celebrate and much to look
forward to as we work together throughout the year.
Best wishes, Charlotte
