It''all be happening on Sunday may five with plenty of activities for kids including a hay bale maze and the scarecrow event.

Tim the Yowie Man will be judging this year competition with last years winner a whopping 308 kilograms.

Locals will now be able to have their say on the issues report for the replacement of Lansdowne Bridge which is now available on the RMS website.

A  decision to replace the bridge was made last year in consultation with Goulburn Mulwaree Council and the NSW Heritage Council.

The new project is expected to cost in the order of $7 million dollars.

Member for Goulburn Pru Goward says the report looks into a lot of the concerns and ideas that people have raised.

Liberal Candidate for Hume Angus Taylor says the Coalition intends to restructure the incentive program aimed at attracting more doctors to regional and rural areas.

The review will look at why the indexed program has some towns classified as inner regional when they're situated well away from major centres.

The ratio of doctors to patients in some parts of the Hume electorate is one to 3000 when that figure should be closer to one to 1000.

Mr. Taylor says the right support systems need to be put in place to fix the problem.
