Council acknowledges the important role that advocacy plays in the local government landscape and endorsed several priority projects that will see better outcomes for the Hepburn Shire.
Funding for soccer facilities in Creswick and Daylesford, continuation of Future Hepburn (strategic land planning), workplace safety legislation and the financial sustainability of councils are all key projects named in the priority projects statement endorsed by Council.
Mayor, Cr Tony Clark, said that the projects represent a range of important issues and infrastructure in the Shire.
“The eleven projects have been selected based on recent capital works planning, Council resolutions following significant decisions, collaboration with peak bodies and consultation with Councillors and officers,” he said.
“All of the projects we carry out here at Council are important. This priority statement does not represent an exhaustive list of future initiatives and Council will continue to advocate for other projects as they arise,” he said.
Council has demonstrated a strong history of obtaining state and federal government grants for various projects.
The following eleven projects form the priority projects statement.
