Report It. Solve It.]]></title><description><![CDATA[Out walking in Glenorchy this week, I spotted a section of road that needs attention. 30 seconds later it was reported. Photo, location, sent straight to Council. The app is Snap Send Solve. I use it and I want every local using it, it’s so easy. I believe Council must be responsive. But we can’t fix what we don’t know. This app lets us know quickly so we can respond. This is how we build a proud, clean and safe city. Together.

Yet every single event in our city happens inside MONA’s gates. Not one connects to our community venues or public spaces, nothing attracting visitors and tourists to our shops, restaurants and venues. Meanwhile the festival travelled, Launceston hosted headline acts, Clarence had an installation at Rosny Farm, even Ulverstone had events. Last year the festival delivered more than $67 million to Tasmania. Visitors filled restaurants, bars and accommodation in every...]]></description><link>https://www.russellyaxley.com/post/bringing-dark-mofo-to-glenorchy</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a589c03c7f3849535c67e9a</guid><pubDate>Sun, 05 Jul 2026 14:00:00 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/7adbcb_cf65e63a6217427bafb32d959e72cd87~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_720,h_960,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Russell Yaxley</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why I'm Running For Mayor]]></title><description><![CDATA[I'm running for Mayor of Glenorchy. I'm the best person to lead the City of Glenorchy through what comes next. I don't say that lightly. I’m proud of the past term, we benefited from good early decisions and we followed through on them. What I’m concerned about is the next term, if we relax, become complacent, not work hard, then all the good results achieved will be wasted and we’ll drift back into old ways.
