Like everyone else, Save Westernport and Environment Victoria have been closely following the developments around COVID-19 and public health advice.
To reduce the risk to all of us of being exposed to the virus and ensure that our events are safe for everybody, we have made the decision to postpone the People Sign Beach Rally that was planned for Sunday March 29 on Somers Beach.
Instead, we will be meeting online on March 29 at 7:30pm to discuss our visions for protecting Westernport permanently from heavy industrialisation and pollution. You can RSVP here.
We believe this is the most responsible thing to do to ensure that we are not contributing to the spread of the virus, and to protect our collective health and all those that we have contact with in our daily lives.
We are disappointed that these circumstances mean we can’t all gather together on March 29th but we are still excited about getting together online to talk about our visions for protecting our Bay permanently from heavy industrialisation and pollution.
You can RSVP here. Here is a how-to guide demonstrating how to use zoom for online meetings. If you would like a call beforehand to discuss how to use zoom, let us know by responding to this email.
Even though COVID-19 has put a temporary break on our in-person protests and actions we are not giving up the fight. We will simply find new ways to express our outrage together and tell AGL to drop their plans for a gas import terminal in our Bay.
We will confirm new dates for the People Sign so that it can proceed at a later date that is safe for everyone.
Key things for your action now:
- RSVP to the zoom call.
- Let us know if you need a call from us to help you use zoom.
Can’t make this time? We will host a second webinar. Click here to let us know which time works for you.

In solidarity,
Victor Komarovsky
