Council brings in a new approach to community engagement
Council has introduced a Community Engagement Policy to put the views and ideas of the community at the heart of the decision-making process.
The policy was endorsed at last night’s Council meeting, following community consultation in December 2020.
Community members can expect more opportunities to work alongside Council to make decisions on policies, strategies, and other significant decisions.
The policy aims to:
Outline our genuine intention to consider community input.
Increase transparency of the decisions that impact the community.
Build the community’s trust in Council’s decision-making process.
Date Time
Councillors appointed to Advisory Committees
Specialist advisory committees will inform and influence future Council decision making following the adoption of Council’s first Advisory Committee Policy and the appointment of Councillor representatives this week.
While the Local Government Act 2020 does not reference Advisory Committees, Council has a long history of engaging community members through specialist committees and has opted to strengthen their function and improve transparency through formal annual reporting to Council and publicly available minutes.
Standard Terms of Reference have also been adopted, ensuring consistent governance across the board.
Each Advisory Committee will have a minimum of five members, with at least two Councillor representatives and three to eight community members, selected based on their skills, equity, and diversity.
Date Time
Local roads set to be resealed across Baw Baw Shire
A total of 148,000 square metres of road surfaces will be resealed this year, after Council awarded a tender for the works at its meeting on Wednesday 10 February.
Sections of 16 local roads across the Shire will be resealed to improve safety and access for road users as part of Council’s annual Road Resealing Program
The contract for the works was awarded to Fulton Hogan Industries Pty Ltd for the total sum of $930,136.15 (excluding GST), following a tender process in 2020.
The annual program works to improve road surface conditions by spraying bitumen onto a road pavement and then rolling in a layer of uniformly sized stones to create a new surface.
