"Councils are the curators of cities." Are you interested in councils as the curators of cities? What do you think about the requirements of a good place? How can we improve cities with small steps? Interview with Bruce Marshall, the Coordinator Economic Development & Smart Cities at Maribyrnong City Council. We talk about his vision for the future of cities, smart communities, good spaces, using data strategically, and many more. Bruce Marshall is the Coordinator Economic Development and Smart Cities at Maribyrnong City Council in Melbourne's Inner West, and is also currently the President of the Australian Smart Communities Association (ASCA). His team at Maribyrnong delivers a range of business support and economic development programs and he has responsibility for driving the municipality's Smart City program. Over his 14 years working in the Local Government sector Bruce has had a number of roles relating to Economic Development, Investment Attraction, Place Making, Visitor Economy promotion and more recently in Smart Cities. Whilst still relatively new to the Smart Cities space, he is passionate about exploring how Smart City initiatives can play an active role in place making, place activation and improving the convenience and quality of life for residents.

Dingo Ate My Taco are the team responsible for bringing birria tacos to Melbourne back in 2020 lock-down. And thank goodness they did. Since then, the Dingo kitchen has been pumping out authentic, and an entirely made-from-scratch menu of traditional Mexican and Texan dishes including their iconic birria, breakfast tacos (set to be the next big thing for Melbournians) plus so many other true-to-style MexTex dishes. The kitchen is headed up by Isaac Costello, who at only 22 became Head Chef and part owner of the business. When Dingo aren't popping up in Maribyrnong or the Queen Vic Markets – where their line is the longest by far – they're serving out of their more permanent spot, The Mill Brewery in Collingwood. I went to The Mill Brewery on a Friday afternoon, and it is glorious. The log burner was on, it was cosy, the beer is excellent and I had a lovely chat to Isaac. Then he ordered me three tacos: beef brisket, chicken and beer battered deep fried avocado and I have to say, I do not know how I have been living my life without beer battered deep fried avocado before now. Delicious. Owners Kady and Paul grew up in Texas themselves and have been giving Melbournians a slice of what tacos should really taste like alongside Isaac for nearly four years.

When an inner suburb of Melbourne was hit by flooding a few weeks ago, attention turned to Flemington Racecourse: home of the Melbourne Cup. The track is a floodplain, and in prior floods it had become submerged in water. But not this time. This year, a new flood wall protected it. But could the wall that saved Flemington Racecourse have doomed nearby houses? Or is that debate obscuring the bigger problems facing our cities as the climate crisis closes in? Today, associate editor of The Saturday Paper Martin McKenzie-Murray on the Maribyrnong flood.

As cancel culture pursues Kayne West, Alex Jones, and JK Rowling it is the climate activist vandals who should be canceled as the Victorian floods are of course blamed on climate change. I untwist the latest planned chaos on Tim's News Explosion. Flash flooding has devastated the regional Victorian towns of Echuca and Shepparton and Melbourne's Inner West around the Maribyrnong river. This natural disaster has seen the return of Dan Andrews daily press conferences. The Greens are blaming climate change for the floods and some freedom activists are claiming the floods are due to government weather manipulation through cloud seeding. What can be proven is that if the state Labor Government had built a Maribyrnong dam in the 2000s it would have saved hundreds of homes. The Flemington Racecourse flood wall also approved by the Labor Government has also been blamed for the flooding of homes around the area. A globalist coup is underway in the UK with Prime Minister Liz Truss sacking her friend and ally Kwasi Kwarteng as Chancellor following volatility in British markets triggered by their mini-budgets and replacing him with pro-CCP lockdown enthusiast and EU remainer Jeremy Hunt. On the streets of the UK climate and vegan activist brats have poured tomato soup over Van Gogh Sunflowers, sprayed paint on an Aston Martin showroom, and poured milk all over the floor in a supermarket. This type of destructive activism is occurring in Australia with two activists gluing themselves to a Picasso painting in Melbourne and Sydney Harbour Bridge blocker Mali Cooper having her charges dropped due to her suffering ‘climate anxiety'. In cancel culture news Harry Potter author JK Rowling has not been deterred from her biological women's rights activism calling Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon a destroyer of women's rights for proposing a trans-self-ID law. Alex Jones has had another defamation ruling against him for his Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting conspiracy theories with him now being ordered to pay the Sandy Hook families a total of $1 billion in damages. Daily Wire founder Ben Shapiro will not fire Candace Owens for her friendship with Kanye West though called his suspended tweet threatening to expose Jewish power anti-Semitic. Dvir Abramovich of the Anti-Defamation Commission is trying to have Ye's music pulled from Spotify and Apple Music. The January 6 House Committee has subpoenaed former President Trump to provide evidence, but he will refuse leading to another FBI raid. New footage from January 6 shows House Speaker Nancy Pelosi hoping Trump arrives at the Capitol so she can punch him out.

More than 7000 homes and businesses in Victoria's north could soon be flooded as the state's historic emergency event continues. Shepparton residents are continuing to be bombarded with flood water, while other areas start the clean up process following last week's monster deluge. The Goulburn River may peak near 12.1m later on Monday morning, potentially putting 7300 homes and businesses in Shepparton, Mooroopna and Kialla in danger of being surrounded or filled with flood water. Victorian Emergency management commissioner Andrew Crisp said they received 56 requests for rescues in those areas overnight on Sunday, with some yet to be undertaken. Bureau of Metrology meteorologist Dean Narramore said several river catchments are expected to peaked on Monday. “On the Avoca River around the Charlton area, it looks like will peak around 8m today with major floods that will cause some issues there today,” he told the ABC. “Moving further eastwards, we're looking at major flooding continuing and it will for a number of days on the Campaspe and the Goulburn River. “We'll see the floodwaters peak in Echuca and Moama, similar to the 1993 levels. “Shepparton as well looking to peak sometime later today or into tonight. Similar to the levels of 1974, so it's going a long way back. “There's a massive amount of water on the Goulburn right now and that all feeds into the Murray River, so we're concerned for Echuca and Moama in the coming days.” But he warned more heavy rainfall has been “unfortunately” forecast for later in the week, with up to 25mm potentially hitting already flood-affected areas like Echuca and Shepparton. “Not good news for our flood-affected areas ... looking at widespread 25-50mm falls over much of inland New South Wales, northern Victoria and Queensland,” Mr Narramore said. “This is a lot less than what we saw, but with everything now so wet and saturated, this is going to lead to renewed river level rises on many of our already flooded rivers. “Particularly as we get in towards that Thursday and Friday time frame … we could see quite a few severe thunderstorms through inland areas across multiple days later this week and into the weekend.” Mr Narramore also said “it could be a while” until the rain lets up for residents in Australia's east. “It looks like we will get a brief break over the weekend Sunday and Monday, but there is another system hot on its heels as we move into early parts of next week,” he told The Today Show. “ This wet pattern continues to bring widespread flooding across eastern Australia.” Federal Emergency Management Minister Murray Watt said Victoria was facing a “a very serious situation”. “The reports I‘m getting, we could be looking at up to 9000 homes inundated in northern Victoria and potentially close to about 34,000 homes in Victoria either inundated or isolated,” he told the ABC. Mr Crisp said around 300 to 400 homes have inundated with flood water in Echuca, while about 800 to 900 have been affected in Rochester. “I had the opportunity to fly over Rochester yesterday. To be frank, it‘s depressing, there's water everywhere,” he told the ABC. “We'll work with, stand with, and support the community of Rochester and we'll be doing everything we can to help them get back on their feet.” On Saturday morning, a respected member of the Rochester community sadly lost his life in his backyard during the relentless weather event. Kevin Wills, 71, who was born in the Victorian town lived with his wife on High Street for years, with the community heartbroken at the loss. Mr Wills' wife was also found by emergency services trapped at the property but was rescued safely. Victoria SES has issued more than 60 flood warnings across the state, more than 100 Australian Defence Force personnel have been deployed, while around 120 schools and 100 early learning centres are closed on Monday. The state and federal governments have prepared the Centre for National Resilience in Mickleham to provide crisis care for those needing accommodation. The Mickleham facility will provide 250 beds from Tuesday next week for people who have lost their homes in the floods. Residents will also receive food and other support services at the site, as well as remotely. The Commonwealth built and owned Mickleham location recently closed as a quarantine hub, allowing it to now open its doors to flood victims. Emergency Management Victoria, along with Emergency Recovery Victoria and Covid-19 Quarantine Victoria, are working collaboratively to set the facility up, using the existing quarantine staff and service providers to get support to those who need it quickly. The centre will act as a hub, as residents will be supplied with free regular transport on a provided shuttle bus to the local train station and shopping centre. Every room provided to those in need will hold toiletries and necessities, and people will be provided with three meals per day. Local charities are working to provide items that families may have had to leave behind in the floods, such as clothing. The federal government also made disaster assistance payments available for 44 flood affected areas across Victoria, NSW and Tasmania. In Victoria those 23 local government areas are: Alpine Benalla Buloke Campaspe Central Goldfields Corangamite Gannawarra Greater Bendigo Greater Shepparton Hepburn Horsham Loddon Macedon Ranges Mansfield Maribyrnong Mitchell Shire Moira Moonee Valley Murrindindi Northern Grampians Pyrenees Strathbogie Wangaratta One-off Australian Government Disaster Recovery Payments are also available in Campaspe, Greater Shepparton, Maribyrnong, Mitchell and Strathbogie. There is $1000 per adult and $400 per child in recognition of the significant losses people in those areas have experienced due to the floods. The state government also revealed on Sunday that Melbourne Water will conduct a review into the 3m floodwater wall around Flemington Racecourse. It will investigate claims from frustrated residents that the racecourse managed to avoid the severe flooding because the wall pushed water into the surrounding Maribyrnong area. “Melbourne Water will conduct a thorough review of this flood event and any impact that wall had on this flood event,” Mr Andrews said. “And they'll do that work at arm's length from the government and report progress.” Racing Victoria chief executive Andrew Jones told Channel 9 over the weekend the well had created “unintended consequences”. “The VRC took steps to flood-protect its property 15 years ago, which it's entitled to do. That's obviously had unintended consequences for neighbouring residents,” he said. “Obviously there was no intention of the VRC to cause harm. They tried to protect the spring carnival and the Melbourne Cup Carnival, which is a massively important part of Victorian life and the Victorian economy, so I think this is an unintended consequence.” FLOOD WARNINGS Major Flood Warning for the Avoca River Major Flood Warning for the Broken River Major Flood Warning for the Campaspe River Major Flood Warning for the Goulburn River Major Flood Warning for the Loddon River Major Flood Warning for the Seven and Castle Creeks Major Flood Warning for the Wimmera River Moderate Flood Warning for the Barwon River Moderate Flood Warning for the Ovens and King Rivers EMERGENCY WARNINGS Echuca and Echuca Village (Evacuate Immediately) Bunbartha (Evacuate Immediately) Charlton (Evacuate Immediately) Shepparton, Mooroopna, Orrvale, Murchison, Kialla West (Too Late to Leave) Rochester (Move to Higher Ground) Campaspe River downstream of Rochester (Move to Higher Ground) Nanneella, Fairy Dell, Koyuga and Kanyapella South (Move to Higher Ground) Campaspe River Lake Eppalock to Barnadown (Move to Higher Ground) Loddon River Loddon Weir to Kerang (Move to Higher Ground) - by Hamish Spence and Isabel McMillan, news.com.auSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

AN ARMY of selfless volunteers, helpful neighbours and have-a-go heroes are banding together, evacuating vulnerable residents and manning sandbag stations in Central Victoria as towns brace for devastating flooding to hit today. MELBOURNE has plunged out of the nation's million-dollar home club with an almost $80,000 hit to the city's house price in the past three months. A REVIEW will be conducted by Melbourne Water to determine whether a 3m floodwater wall around Flemington Racecourse exacerbated the severity of the flood that devastated Maribyrnong on Friday. TEACHERS are scouring social media for lesson plans because of a lack of quality school resources that forces them to “fend for themselves”, resulting in poorer education outcomes.
