Flowerdale Community House

This letter was sent to the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR), the Victorian Bushfire Reconstruction and Recovery Authority (VBRRA), the Mayor and Acting Chief Executive Officer of the Murrindindi Shire Council, and the Community House, today, on behalf of the Hazeldene Community Action Group, requesting a copy of the Flowerdale Community House Incorporated's successful "Jobs Fund" Grant Submission.

This letter follows on from the numerous attempts to obtain a copy of this grant submission, by persons from Federal, State and Local Government, from Government Departments, as well as by all members of the Hazeldene Community Action Group, all of which, to date, have been unsuccessful.

One must ask what it is that we are not being permitted to see. When something is being guarded so carefully and so closely, shouldn't questions be asked ?

FOLLOW-UP 09 April 2010
We have been contacted, this morning, by DEEWR. The person we spoke to indicated that permission to release the documents needed to be obtained from the organisation which submitted the Grant. With this in mind, he has spoken to John Burgess, who the spokesperson for DEEWR identified as the Project Manager for the Community House, and John has given permission for us to receive a copy of the Grant Submission. It is being posted out today.
