February Council Meeting Wrap

This month’s Council Meeting was held on Tuesday 21 February.

Shepparton Inner North LATM

Council adopted the Shepparton Inner North Local Area Traffic Management Plan following extensive community feedback.

This plan provides a list of 39 recommendations aimed at mitigating traffic, parking and safety issues in the area.

The recommendations will be implemented from this year onwards, with some measures requiring further investigation to prepare detailed designs and costings.

Kerbside Collection Policy

Council adopted an updated Kerbside Landfill Waste, Recycling and Organics Collection Policy. The Policy was updated to address the Victorian Government’s Recycling Victoria Policy which aims to divert 80 per cent of waste from landfill by 2030.

Council’s updated Policy includes a recommendation to create a standard bin service across the region, including changes in bin collection frequency and the introduction of a purple lid bin for glass.

Contracts awarded

Council noted the awarding of $1,148,831 in contracts at the February Council Meeting.

These included contracts for the Marlboro Drive, Kialla road upgrade, Monash Park, Shepparton footpath renewal, GV Trails exploratory study, and the Economic Visitor Economy and Major Events Strategy.

Greater Shepparton Heritage Advisory Committee

Four community representatives were appointed to the Greater Shepparton Heritage Advisory Committee to serve for the remainder of the current two-year term, concluding in September 2023.

The Committee acts as an advocate for all cultural heritage matters within the region, aiming to raise awareness and promote community participation within Greater Shepparton.

Congratulations to the four new community representatives and thank you to the two outgoing members.
