  • Slow down and Respect Road Workers to Ensure Safety (减速慢行,尊重道路施工人员以确保安全)

    Slow down and Respect Road Workers to Ensure Safety (减速慢行,尊重道路施工人员以确保安全)

    维州澳华社区委员会与CultureVerse以及交通部合作,共同倡议公众提升对道路施工人员人身安全的关注。我们认为,虽然道路施工增添了不便,但这是为了所有人的利益——道路施工人员的辛勤工作值得被尊重。我们倡议,⁠道路施工人员每日工作充满风险,驾车遇到道路施工人员时,请谨慎驾驶;时刻⁠遵循交通限速,保护道路施工人员和自己的安全。我们意识到,⁠道路施工人员和我们一样,是为了家庭为了未来而努力工作的普通人。

    The Chinese Community Council of Australia – Victoria Chapter (CCCAV), in collaboration with CultureVerse and the Department of Transport, is jointly advocating for greater public awareness of the safety of road construction workers. We believe that while roadworks may cause inconvenience, they are carried out for the benefit of everyone—and the hard work of road construction workers deserves our respect. We call on the public to remember that road construction workers face risks every day on the job. When encountering them while driving, please drive cautiously and always adhere to speed limits to protect both their safety and your own. We recognise that road construction workers are just like us—ordinary people working hard for their families and a better future.

  • First Civics Education Workshop for Chinese Australians in Victoria Successfully Held (维州华人社区首次公民教育大型讲座成功举行)

    First Civics Education Workshop for Chinese Australians in Victoria Successfully Held (维州华人社区首次公民教育大型讲座成功举行)

    First Civics Education Workshop for Chinese Australians in Victoria Successfully Held

    维州华人社区首次公民教育大型讲座成功举行

    The inaugural Civics Education Workshop held at Kew Golf Club on 29 September 2024 was a huge success, attracting around 130 participants. This groundbreaking initiative, co-organized by the Chinese Community Council of Australia, Victoria Chapter (CCCAV) and the Australian Asian Business Women’s Association (AABWA), aimed to empower Chinese Australians to participate actively in the democratic process.

    Participants showed tremendous interest in the workshop, gaining a comprehensive understanding of Australian democracy’s inner workings. They learned effective ways to engage with the democratic process, fostering a sense of civic responsibility. Notably, one of the workshop’s key focuses – identifying misinformation and disinformation – resonated strongly with attendees, equipping them with essential tools to navigate the complex digital landscape in their civics and citizenship activities.

    Dr. Eric Fu, a Senior Research Fellow from the University of Melbourne, led the workshop, sharing his expertise in Civics and Citizenship Education. The event was supported by the Chinese Australian Forum (CAF) and the Australian Government’s National Foundation for Australia-China Relations, demonstrating a collaborative effort to promote civic engagement among Chinese Australians.

    This workshop marks a significant step towards fostering a more informed and active Chinese Australian community in Victoria. By raising awareness and empowering individuals with knowledge and skills, we can build a more vibrant and inclusive democracy.

    发表您的意见:关于墨尔本Chadstone未来规划的华人社区咨询

    Chadstone是一个位于维多利亚州顶级购物胜地附近充满活力的社区。

    墨尔本、维多利亚州及其他地区的人们来到 Chadstone 购物中心享受购物、餐饮和娱乐。该中心为成千上万的维多利亚州居民提供就业、服务和日常需求,周边地区的公园、学校和社区设施也为当地社区的繁荣发展提供了支持。

    但在整个维多利亚州,没有多少人有机会负担得起类似 Chadstone 所提供的环境的房子。维持现状不是一种选择,我们需要立即采取行动,确保未来每个维多利亚州居民都能在自己可以繁荣发展的地方拥有一套负担得起的住房。

    这就是为什么维州政府希望更多的维多利亚州居民能够选择在这个区定居。维州交通和规划部根据居民反馈制定了《Chadstone 活动中心规划草案》,以指导 Chadstone在未来几十年,即现在到 2051 年,如何慢慢改变。现将于2024年9 月 23 日星期一下午 6 点至 7 点举办在线信息发布会,进一步听取社区意见。

    Small Acts with a Big Impact for a Sustainable Future

    细小举动,意义重大,迈向可持续未来

    Sustainability Victoria’s latest Small Acts Make A Big Impact campaign has launched!

    细小举动,意义重大,迈向可持续未来。细小的举动,例如将物品正确分类放进回收箱里,并记得随身携带可重复使用的水瓶等可重复使用品,对维州可持续发展的未来有重大意义。

    • 把厨余放入 FOGO(亮绿色盖子)垃圾桶:把厨余和花园垃圾丢入 FOGO 垃圾桶,以便回收并变成堆肥(一种天然肥料),农场种植时可再利用。
    • 自带可重复使用的咖啡杯:购买外卖咖啡时,请使用可重复使用的咖啡杯。此举不仅能减少垃圾填埋量,帮助保持维州环境,还能节省生活开支。
    • 回收利用物请勿打包:把回收利用物散装放进箱里,不要打包,这样能更有效地收集和处理回收利用物,还能变旧为新,用它们来修造人行道和马路。
    • 浏览所处市政府网站,了解各类垃圾桶具体可投入的垃圾类别
    • 出门时记得携带可重复使用的水瓶
    • 提前规划好每周的晚餐,减少家中食物的浪费
    • 用完的电池应送到相应的回收点
    • 避免将食物和液体留在回收物品中
