The Victorian Government has announced a further seven-day lockdown to take effect until at least Thursday, August 19. This applies to the Greater Melbourne area.

This means that the August 18 editions of The Local Paper and Melbourne Observer cannot proceed. Hopefully, lockdown will lift so that we can be back on the streets with regular weekly editions from August 25.
We will provide further advice as soon as possible.

We extend best wishes to all our readers and advertisers, and their families.
