Three years ago, the dual challenges of COVID-19 lockdowns and impending storms created an objective conflict with opposing threats and guidelines creating uncertainty as to the best course of action. Today MotHs again observes the effects of conflicting emergency warnings on residents, hampering their ability to make prudent, well-informed decisions.

February was jam-packed with social engagements and advocacy at the forefront of our agenda. However, we were also starkly reminded of the inherent risks of our beautiful life nestled among the trees as extreme bushfire warnings, storms, and subsequent power and telecommunication outages swept through our community.

Most people know MotHs has a large online group at its heart, with many smaller branch groups. But MotHs is much more than this. More than simply supporting each other through these challenges, we’re working towards preventing them.

From attending the flag-raising ceremony at Victoria's Government House to rubbing shoulders with inspiring individuals like Darcy McGauley-Bartlett, Dr. Raj Khillan, Dr Janine Mohammed and Ro Allen, it was a month filled with meaningful encounters and impactful discussions.

While storms, flash flooding, and bushfires have long been familiar to the hills, their intensity and frequency are on the rise. Our families now face heightened vulnerability to the impacts of climate change, evident in events like the devastating 2021 storms that led to a monumental loss of trees (approximately 25,000). This loss may have contributed to the increased number and severity of landslides on our roads this week, as the weakened soil, no longer supported by tree roots, inevitably succumbed to the immense volume of rainwater that fell on Sunday and Monday.

That’s a wrap for 2023, we're immensely proud of the challenges we've conquered. Looking forward, we're excited to steer MotHs towards a sustainable future in 2024. Read the President’s report. Here's to more growth, connection, and success!

For parents wishing to return to work, finding childcare that suits your needs is incredibly important. Sadly in an area considered a childcare desert this decision is one of the most stressful.
