Join the Fight: community meeting to reopen Kirwans Bridge 

A COMMUNITY meeting has been scheduled on Saturday, April 1, 2023, at 10.30am at the Angling Club near Kirwans Bridge, Victoria.  

The meeting aims to discuss proposed community actions, gather ideas, and form a working group to fight for the opening of Kirwans Bridge.  

Kirwans Bridge has been closed for over 160 days by Strathbogie Shire, severely impacting the community.  

The Open Kirwans Bridge Action Group is calling on the community to support their efforts to reopen the bridge by attending the meeting and joining the working group.  

Attendees are encouraged to bring placards and chairs to the event, and media presence is expected.
