Echuca death investigation
Police are investigating the death of a man following an alleged assault in Echuca in May.
Police said they were called to reports of an incident involving two men at a property in Echuca on May 20.
Officers attended the scene.
An Echuca man, 51, was taken to hospital with injuries.
The other man, a 52 year-old from Echuca, was not injured and was spoken to by police at the scene.
He was arrested the following day and charged with intentionally causing injury, and bailed to Echuca Magistrates’ Court on August 19.
The 51 year-old has since died in hospital, on May 29. The exact circumstances surrounding his death are yet to be determined, and investigations remain ongoing.
New ambo station for Moama
Moama and surrounding areas are set to benefit from a new ambulance station before the year is out.
The station is proposed to be located in a new building on Wild Ave, Moama, and will house three NSW Ambulance vehicles.
The station is set to be operational later this year and will be fitted out to meet the operational needs of the five paramedics who will man the station.
Locations for ambulance stations are chosen based on optimal ambulance response performance and whether they meet the emergency and mobile medical care needs of the local community.
The Moama area was recognised as a high-priority location for a new station following a comprehensive service planning process to enhance cross border resilience with Victoria.
$150m village plan
A conditional planning permit for a $150 million residential village on the edge of Yarrawonga was approved at last week’s Moira Shire Council meeting.
The site, on the intersection of Brears Rd and Murray Valley Highway, includes the Riverlands Tourist Park and will be constructed in 11 stages.
No lead contractor has yet been engaged but developer, Dominic Bressen of Sydney-based Pentola Partners, said he was already in discussions with local contractors and construction companies.
The plan is for 205 one, two and three-bedroom dwellings for over 55s, which are expected to sell at 10-20 per cent below Yarrawonga’s median house price.
The village will have a community centre with function space, cinema and library, and a wellness centre with a swimming pool and spa, gym, sauna and steam room.
The planned outdoor areas include a bowling green, pickle ball courts, walking trails, stomping shed and private vineyard.
