🐱 We’re happy to share that our Melton Pound facility is now fully open from today, Monday 23 March.
Our incredible team have done an outstanding job containing the Feline Parvovirus outbreak.
🐾 Due to the deep clean, the shelter is in need of towels and blankets to keep our furry friends comfortable and warm. If you’d like to help, donations of these items are welcome.

Come and find your new best friend:
📍 Melton Pound, 90-92 High Street, Melton
⌚ Open 9am - 4.30pm, 7 days a week (excluding public holidays).

🤩🥳 Yesterday I had the pleasure of visiting our Cobblebank Community Services Hub (permanent name not finalised yet) as it reached a milestone in construction.
This future six level building will have essential services including education, health, employment services, family violence prevention and support, and support for refugees and vulnerable residents. This is a vital asset for our community and I am extremely proud to see it on its way to completion. 🤩 City of Melton

Yesterday we said goodbye to beautiful Margaret. 🩷
Margaret was always the first to welcome me at RSL events and excelled in making all people feel welcome, comfortable and cared for in every area of her life. She made a tangible contribution of care to our City and will be greatly missed. 🩷
