Hepburn Hub at The Rex

I just read The Local (Page 9, Your Say, Issue 245) and (Hepburn Shire) Councillor Jen Bray’s point of view.
Well, it’s about time we had a councillor who expressed the community’s view, you little ripper Jen.
Other councillors will see the light, we have so many talented people in our community who can make this project a reality if we work together.
Everyone I consult supports keeping The Rex Theatre for our community to develop and use.
Set up properly it can bring in revenue as there are a multitude of wonderful uses it can be put to.
Community involvement and ownership is very important as this will build happier, healthier communities.
We, as long-term resident ratepayers, are sick and tired of council officers dictating to us as this does not make a recipe for happy, healthy communities in accordance with council plans.
We the people must take this project on and show Australia what we can really do as a community and the kids, teenagers, adults and elderly can really benefit from such a great project ongoing.
Let’s get together and make The Rex happen.
