Kicking Off 2026: Why The Voice of Mill Park Exists

Welcome to episode one of The Voice of Mill Park. I’m Cameron Blewett, your host and a five‑year local, kicking off 2026 by sharing why this show exists and how it’ll serve our community. Every Tuesday around 9am, I’ll bring you a short, honest update on what’s happening in and around Mill Park: local news, events, sports, community group activities, and simple explainers on council and state matters that affect us. I’ll also spotlight local businesses I personally use, chat with community groups, and invite respectful listener contributions, no politics, no rage bait, just practical info and conversations that strengthen neighbourhood connections.Think of this podcast and the companion site millpark.blog as a single, spam‑free hub: show notes, transcripts, a growing business directory, and soon, a community events calendar. I’m keen to revive a more connected neighbourhood with initiatives like a local Neighbourhood Watch and exploring community defibrillators, plus petitions on Whittlesea Council matters. The show runs on a Value‑for‑Value model: if you get something from it, you can give back with time, talent, or treasure—send tips, events, corrections, or help with the site and newsletter. Email your ideas or voice notes to [email protected]. See you next Tuesday.
