Since 2001, the City of Melville has displayed banners along the Canning Hwy in Applecross. The banners have changed every 4 to 6 weeks to coincide with civic events and public holidays, including Australia Day, Labour Day and other relevant occasions such as Christmas and the City of Melville Art Awards.

Currently nine sets of banners rotate during the year. All banners are removed during winter months to prevent storm damage.

The banner program is currently under review and we would like to find out your opinion about the effectiveness of these banners, including their location. Over the next 3 months we want you to tell us about the impact of these banners in the community, their location and let us know any ideas you have about other options.

The City of Melville is currently trialling the introduction of a 360 litre recycling bin in 630 households in Winthrop and wants to hear what you and all households have to say about their possible introduction.

Do you think "bigger is better"? Will 50% larger 360 litre bins be accepted throughout Melville? Will the bigger bins contribute to an increase in our recycled waste and a reduction in landfill waste?

Have your say about the introduction of 360 litre bins in the online forum and let us know if Bigger is Better and take 5 seconds to complete our Bigger is Better quick poll.

Is bigger better? We're listening so tell us what you think!

Melville primary school kids enjoy their place! In third term, upper primary school students from Melville's four neighborhoods will have an opportunity to artistically express how they enjoy spending their time, where they hang out and what they love to do in their local area. Under the artistic direction of a local artist, the children will paint and screen print a school mural that describes the highlights of the the City of Melville from their perspective. One mural from each of the selected four schools will be showcased as an exhibition at the Little Hands Children's Festival on 24 October 2010 and at the Cultural Vitality Summit in early November 2010.

Face to Face interviews with 8 - 10 stakeholder organisations or groups connected with arts and culture in the City of Melville will be conducted during September / October 2010. These interviews will focus on adding depth to the ideas and themes emerging through the online forum, photovoice and schools projects and will hopefully plug any gaps in information needed to develop the Cultural Vitality Plan.
