PLEASE BE MINDFUL AND SLOW DOWN
We would like to remind everyone that the speed limit for driving past a stationary school bus is 20km per hour in both directions.
There are currently too many vehicles in the Glenorchy area not adhering to this. The police are aware of the issue and they will be monitoring the situation in the coming weeks so expect a police presence in the area.

GLENORCHY GOLF CLUB
Glenorchy Golf Club Honesty box Robbed.
It’s with great sadness that I feel that the community should know that we have a thief in town. The honesty box at the golf club was again broken into last night,( the second time in 2 months) . The incident must of taken place after 6 pm as I personally saw in tact at that time, when the netballers were arriving for training. Although it isn’t the toughest of padlocks, a tool such as a jimmy bar must have been required, so I can only presume it was a local not a tourist.
If anybody has any information, I’d like to hear from you,
Regards
Peter Davies
