 Comment
I was invited to attend this BBQ and was well worth it.  I was able to talk with Peter Ryan on the progress of the FSL (Fire Service Levy) and was told that a bill would be presented to sort out the present mess where the FSL is based on your insurance policy will be sorted out within 2 months.

I also spoke with the Planning minister, Mathew Guy who was receptive  to the COLDSTREAM  2020 proposal of expanding Coldstream. He also mentioned the fact that the Coldstream Rail Station had potential in developing the area.

We should know the details of how we will be paying towards the FSL within about 2 months.

Stay tuned.

A toast to China's thirst for wine

Helen Xu, co-owner of Chinese clothing and chemical manufacturer Shanghai Salian Industrial & Trade, bought an 80ha vineyard at Coldstream in Victoria's Yarra Valley last year and is midway through her first grape harvest, all of which will be exported to China after being vinified at a local contract winemaking facility.
