Emerging options paper out now - input closing soon

We've released a draft Emerging Options Paper for the Broadford Structure Plan following consultation earlier in the year. This is your chance to run through the issues and opportunities identified and to let us know whether we've missed anything. We've also got a survey for you to share your thoughts.

Last drop-in session

• Tuesday 4 December - Broadford Living and Learning Centre from 11am to 3pm

Survey

• Survey closes Friday 7 December.

We're seeking expressions of interest from people interested in joining the Community Working Group for the Seymour Revitalisation project.

The group will provide direct input into the development of a business case which will seek to deliver future government investment in Seymour.

The Seymour Revitalisation project is an important partnership project which brings varies State Government Departments together with Council and the community to achieve:

• The development of a business case for future investment in Seymour (being led by Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning)
• Important improvements to Chittick Park, Goulburn Park and Kings Park
• The next stage of a feasibility assessment for linking Seymour to the Great Victorian Rail Trail at Tallarook
• The Getting Seymour Business Back on Track event (being led by Seymour Railway Heritage Centre)

We currently provide public access to 13 water bores across the municipality. They need upgrading with an anticipated cost of $390,000.

Historically, these water bores were used for drought relief by primary producers for stock and domestic use. Over time, this use changed.

Before we make a decision about investing in upgrades, we're doing some research to find out who is using the bores and standpipes, what for and what impact any changes would have.

Survey closes Thursday 28 February 2019

As part of Council's commitment to improving services and determining future needs for Maternal and Child Health Services, we are currently seeking feedback from parents and guardians.

Your feedback will provide us with valuable input into the future direction of Mitchell Shire Council's Maternal and Child Health Service. A report that includes your feedback will be provided to Council's Public Health Department.

The survey is open until 5pm, Friday 14 December 2018.
