THE Moira Shire Council is seeking community, business and stakeholder feedback following the release of its draft 2019/20 budget and four-year Strategic Resource Plan (SRP).
Mayor of Moira Shire, Cr Libro Mustico said, “Our draft 2019/20 budget and SRP aims to balance the many and often competing needs of the Moira community. Now, we are asking he community to tell us whether we have got the balance right.”
Moira Shire has almost 30,000 residents spread across a large land area and this was a key consideration in developing council’s annual budget and four year SRP.
“We provide the same or similar services in multiple locations so we have a large number of assets to maintain,” Cr Mustica said.
“For example, council maintains 28 recreation reserves, showgrounds and swimming pools, more than 150 parks, gardens, playgrounds and public toilets, four libraries, a mobile library service and nine waste transfer stations.”
In 2019/20, Moira Shire Council proposes delivery of new assets and the expansion, upgrade and renewal of existing assets following community consultation and successful grant applications.
Community members are invited to discuss their ideas and feedback on the budget and SRP with councillors at four information sessions. These sessions will be held in Cobram, Nathalia, Numurkah and Yarrawonga across two days on Tuesday, May 14 and Thursday, May 16.
If you have questions or would like to discuss aspects of the budget in more detail, please call the Moira Shire Council customer service team on 5871 9222.
