Championing the Macdonald Valley

OUR PURPOSE

Championing the Macdonald Valley, our Home and our Sanctuary, to ensure our community is not forgotten, as no one should be discriminated against because of where they live.

OUR MISSION

To Protect, Enhance and Promote the Natural and Human Environment of the Macdonald Valley with its long rich history in a respectful and sustainable way.

The MVA acknowledges the Darkinjung people as the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the Macdonald (Gunanday) Valley and pays respect to Elders past, present and emerging.

If the rain this weekend is keeping you indoors and you would like something to occupy your mind and also help contribute to the future strategic direction of the Hawkesbury here is a link for public comment to Hawkesbury City Councils draft delivery program and operational plan. This document was compiled after extensive community consultation which included a session here in St Albans. Rosemary Scott and Linda Bracken went along to represent the MVA. Comments and feedback close on May 7. I’ll include in the comments below the shorter Community Plan document link which is a much shorter read.

Loooong cues coming down the hill backing up from people trying to cross using the Webbs Creek Ferry. Waiting time is approx 1.5hours to get onto the ferry. This could increase before It gets better. Alternate way potentially - Laughtendale Rd - take the main ferry at Wisemans and then Settlers Rd (which thank you to the great road crew has been graded this week 🤩)

LOTS of holiday traffic expected in the valley. Just a heads up, we have been told there will be a lot of holiday makers, many with a caravan coming for the Easter / school holidays break and we can expect some conjestion at peak times at Webbs Creek and possibly coming down the hill into Wisemans. Also, with so many tourists on the road can you keep an eye out for injured wildlife too please?

Congratulations to ‘Bits & Bobs’ for their stellar performance in winning the most recent MVA Trivia Night, hosted by the hardworking crew at The Pickled Wombat Many thanks to ‘The Quiz Masters’ for doing such a great job preparing for and running the evening. There are 3 more Trivia Nights planned for this year - 1 each quarter/season - so please look out for them, and book in early so you don’t miss out, as they are always well attended. This is just one of the ways your Macdonald Valley Association is caring for our community. @followers
