The Bass Valley News
The Committee of Governance of the Bass Valley Community Group Inc regrets to announce that printed production of the Bass Valley News has ceased as of June 2018. There are a number of reasons for this however, the primary reason is that the paper’s advertising revenue no longer covered production costs. Print media of all types has been losing out to social electronic media and the Bass Valley News has been no exception.
BVCG Online Presence
The Bass Valley Community Group Inc continues to build its online presence, thus staying in touch with the community. The BVCG Web site is constantly being updated, thanks to volunteer and tech-wiz Steve. Our Facebook pages for the Bass Valley Community Centre and the Hadden House op shop regularly publish updated information, thanks to volunteer Carolyn.
Internet access in the Waterline area
Australia’s NBN broadband is available to most Waterline residents however, not everyone has internet access. The most recent census data (ABS:2016) estimates that almost 71% of people in the Waterline area have internet access, and this number continues to grow. If you require internet access, BVGC also provides an internet connected public computer for public to use in our foyer installed as part of our free Public Internet Access program in our area.
Monthly BVCG News in print
You can still catch up with current BVCG news with our monthly news item which can be found in The Waterline News.
