Births are booming

IT’S boom time for babies.
Cardinia Shire Council’s maternal and child health service recorded 226 births between October and December 2006.

A report to the council’s 19 February meeting said birth notices were increasing at a rate of about six per cent.
The number of families moving to the area with children under the age six is also on the rise.
