The Council’s Business Façade Improvement Program (BFIP) is into its seventh year and for the first time eligibility has been extended beyond the main business strips. Mayor Ruth Gstrein said the Corangamite Shire innovation had been so successful it was copied by other municipalities around the State. “Initially the focus was on the main shopping strips to encourage highway users to stop and spend in our towns,” Cr Gstrein said.
