Pet registration is different from microchipping, and can only be done through your local council. Besides being a legal requirement, pet registration helps us check pet ownership, making it easier and faster for our rangers to return lost pets. Registration fees also help fund important animal services within the shire. It is easier than ever to register your pets through our online payment system. For more on responsible pet ownership, listen to our mrsc.vic.gov.au/Podcasts new podcast: To register your pets:

Music in the Sticks
National Volunteer Week
Music in the Sticks (MITS) is a program for young people in the Macedon Ranges aged 12 to 25 who are interested in the music industry.
Recognise. Reconnect. Reimagine.
To help celebrate National Volunteer Week which runs from Monday 17 to Sunday 23 May, we asked one of our local Visitor Information Centre volunteers, Jim Holcombe to share why he enjoys volunteering.
It has been running for over 15 years and provides skills and experience to young people in a range of areas such as: • event management • sound and lighting • photography and film • publicity and management • live and studio recording • sound production • hospitality. The MITS crew meet on a weekly basis to organise events for young people within the shire, and are currently looking for new members. For more information, contact: mits@mrsc.vic.gov.au 0439 642 192
“Volunteering for me is giving something to the community, and it provides opportunities to engage in social contact with both visitors and fellow volunteers that I otherwise wouldn’t have.
Awards celebrate our young people
Prior to retiring 14 years ago, I owned a property in Woodend but was just a ‘weekend visitor’. The experiences of volunteering have opened the community to me, assisted in developing friendships and hopefully [has] returned some benefit to the community. It gives me a sense of purpose.”
Since 2006, the Macedon Ranges Youth Awards have acknowledged and celebrated the achievements and success of young people in the Macedon Ranges.
To help you connect with others, why not volunteer? To find out more, visit: mrsc.vic.gov.au/Volunteer

Meet your Councillors
Nine new councillors were sworn in at a ceremony on Monday 16 November 2020. Our new Council comprises 3 returning councillors, 2 former councillors and 4 new councillors. Each councillor was asked what they most liked about our shire.
South Ward
East Ward Cr Annette Death I love living in the Macedon Ranges as our community is strong and unique. We have a beautiful natural environment with open spaces, so many attractions that my family love to explore, historical towns to visit and great local businesses to support. I grew up in central Victoria and have always identified with the Macedon Ranges as a special part of the world. My family have settled in Riddells Creek and living in a community-minded, small town brings a sense of belonging and connection. Our local community groups and volunteers have been so welcoming and are committed to building the wonderful place that we live in. I feel fortunate to raise my family in a country environment while still having access to employment and education opportunities. My children are part of the local childcare and kinder programs, they love our local dance school and outdoor parks. With no family close by, it is from this community that my family gains support and strength.

Cr Geoff Neil Many community groups that make an important contribution to the shire give all residents opportunities to be involved in community affairs and events. This is a shire where people know their neighbours. It is the rural, environmental aspect that draws people to the Macedon Ranges. I moved to the shire in 1977 and cannot imagine finding a better place to raise a family. Those who grew up here end up moving back once they have families of their own because of the location, lifestyle, and opportunities with the benefit of fresh air. There are many great spots in which to spend time with family. Our outstanding natural tourist spots and famed landmarks would satisfy the keenest hiker, rock climber or earnest bike rider. Upon completion, the Romsey Ecotherapy Park will be another impressive place to picnic and enjoy a bottle of one of the many exceptional local wines. I am proud to be a resident and a representative of our Macedon Ranges Shire.
Meet your Councillors
Cr Bill West There’s plenty to like about the Macedon Ranges—the name given to the area formerly comprising most of the Gisborne, Kyneton, Romsey and Newham and Woodend shires prior to the imposed amalgamation in the mid1990s. As a life-long resident on farmland in the Rochford Valley, I’ve always considered this attractive area to be close enough to the Melbourne metropolis, but far enough away as well. A mixture of farmland, forests, natural features and incredible landmarks including the worldrenowned Hanging Rock, historic towns and settlements undergoing generational change. Many fine sporting facilities as well, which would be capped off by the visionary regional sporting precinct. The unique character and natural assets of Macedon Ranges were once almost a secret; preserving and enhancing liveability has become a key priority.
Cr Dominic Bonanno I love the Macedon Ranges. That’s why my wife and our young family made the decision to move here 15 years ago. One of my favourite places is the Macedon Regional Park, in particular, the Memorial Cross where my family and I go to visit to reflect and enjoy the wonderful walks and views… although the trees have certainly grown, and now block most of the view at the summit! I think all parts of our local environment are important— natural, social and economic— and they are all reasons why I enjoy living here, and why we should work together to protect and enhance all aspects of our environment. I believe we can do this by promoting active and healthy lifestyles, supporting local businesses and community groups, considering transport alternatives, and using technology to reduce our carbon footprint.
Cr Rob Guthrie I like the Macedon Ranges because of its natural assets and beauty, and relaxed lifestyle. It is an honour to live in and enjoy such an unspoilt natural environment. I was a councillor from March 2003 until November 2012 and have stood for election again to represent the community wishes and protect what we value about this area and the unique character of Gisborne. Most of us made a lifestyle choice to live here because of the natural assets and beauty. There will be development, but it must be at a level that respects the community wishes, the environment and physical constraints of the area.
Cr Anne Moore I have lived in Gisborne for over 25 years. I moved here as it reminded me of my childhood home in Central East New South Wales. The shire has many benefits, including for my children who have enjoyed the freedoms of a rural upbringing attending local schools. I like the sporting groups and activities that were available to my children and continue to provide important community interaction points. I appreciate the connectivity of a rural community.
I look forward to hearing from our community and advocating for those wishes.
I like the volunteer community spirit of long-term residents and newcomers alike. All can make positive contributions.

Engaging with our community
West Ward Cr Jennifer Anderson Macedon Ranges Shire is full of so many things to enjoy and be proud of. To pick only a few is a hard task. The welcoming community would be at the top of my list; there are so many things to do and groups to be involved in, and we have one of the highest rates of volunteering in Victoria. Our beautiful landscapes, distinct villages, local artists, fine produce and historical bluestone assets, along with our three traditional owner groups, heritage, and unique flora and fauna are other features of our shire that encourage everyone, once discovered, to want to spend as much time here as possible. I enjoy our great places to walk, cycle, hike, garden, and to be in nature. No matter where I have traveled in the past, I love the feeling of knowing you are home when you sight Hanging Rock, and the Great Dividing Range.
Cr Janet Pearce I feel lucky that we have been able to raise our family in the Macedon Ranges. We have lived in a safe environment, with a lovely relaxed country feel whilst still being able to find fulfilling work opportunities. My family have been involved in many community groups and sporting activities that have helped us feel connected. For our children this has been especially wonderful giving them confidence and a range of experiences as they have grown up. A big part of this has been the people caring and volunteering their time. I love that l have strong friendships with people l met in playgroup 20 years ago. We regularly cycle and walk in our gorgeous natural environment taking advantage of the beautiful landscapes, open spaces, parks and abundant wildlife. We have enjoyed the growing food and wine culture available, and appreciate the focus on food culture and sustainability practices. We are so happy to live here.
Cr Mark Ridgeway I have called the Macedon Ranges home since 1986 when I first moved here to teach at Kyneton High School. I had a long association with the area—my father was born in Castlemaine. The Kyneton community was always very welcoming, as it continues to be to our newest residents. Our community is vibrant and over the years I have made many friends and met a huge assortment of interesting people. I love being a part of our local community and have always played an active role through my involvement with local groups such as Kyneton Rotary and Kyneton Community House. Our shire has an abundance of natural and culturally significant landmarks as well as being immersed in a fantastic rural and natural environment. We are renowned as a foodie destination with great cafes, restaurants and markets. I am very proud and grateful for the opportunity to represent our community as a councillor.

A new Community Engagement Policy is a requirement of the Local Government Act 2020 and must meet a set of principles outlined in the Act. Consultation on the draft Community Engagement Policy ran from 26 October to 20 December 2020. During that time, 4 webinars were held and a further 26 pieces of feedback were received that were considered in the development of the final policy presented to Council. The Community Engagement Policy was adopted at the scheduled Council meeting held in January. To read the policy, visit:
mrsc.vic.gov.au
Draft Budget and Council Plan
There are new provisions of the Local Government Act 2020, that require councils to take an integrated approach to strategic planning and reporting. We are about to embark on a new approach of deliberative community engagement to create a community vision, Council plan, and financial plan. We will also need to develop an annual budget, and revenue and rating plan. We are required to adopt a budget for each financial year and the subsequent three financial years which will outline how resources will be allocated across initiatives, programs, services, and capital works, as well as financing and debt redemption/servicing. It also provides an outline of all income to be derived from rates, fees and charges, grants, and other revenue. Once these documents have been drafted and considered by Council, we will seek feedback from the community by inviting submissions, prior to their formal adoption.

Community engagement is the process by which we gather information to make decisions that impact the community. We are committed to meaningful community engagement and recognise the important role that it plays in democratic governance and civic life.

Meet your Councillors, and engagement
Sharing cultural celebrations Improving outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the shire has driven our first draft Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP), developed over the past 18 months.
The draft RAP was publicly exhibited over 4 weeks in July 2020. Once approved by Reconciliation Australia, the final plan will be presented to Council this year. The RAP recognises the value of diversity, and highlights the value of sharing cultural celebrations, activities and events with the wider community, including National Reconciliation Week in May and NAIDOC Week in November of each year. Last year, NAIDOC Week presented a great opportunity for local residents to learn from members of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community about their connection to Country. A selection of traditional craft workshops and online storytelling sessions were hosted, and a virtual smoking ceremony was led by Jaara Elder Uncle Rick Nelson of Dja Dja Wurrung and filmed at Hanging Rock. The video was shared online, attracting more than 7,200 views via social media and our website. Children’s online story time sessions were also filmed at Gisborne Library, led by Aunty Brenda Fahey of Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and Aunty Cindy Bux of Wiradjuri and Yorta Yorta. Popular coil weaving workshops were also provided by Dja Dja Wurrung artist Aunty Marilyne Nicholls at Woodend Community Centre. We thank the local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents of Macedon Ranges for their contribution to the diverse culture of our community. For more information, visit: mrsc.vic.gov.au/RAP

Environment surveys, podcasts and webinars Birds of the Macedon Ranges
Biodiversity at Bald Hill Reserve
We have been working with citizen scientists to survey birds at 86 biodiversity monitoring sites across the shire.
The Friends of Bald Hill Reserve and Council recently completed an extensive survey for Clover Glycine which is a nationally-threatened native pea species.
Key findings from the 2020 surveys
• Sacred Kingfishers were recorded at more than 40 per cent of sites.
The survey recorded 1,343 specimens at the reserve which is the largest population ever recorded. This finding reinforces Bald Hill Reserve’s role as a biodiversity hot spot in the shire.
• Scarlet Honeyeaters, a rare visitor, are abundant around Lancefield and Romsey. • A pair of Brush-bronzewing Pigeons, the first recorded in 27 years, were sighted near Goldie.
A diversity of native peas is essential to the health of many ecosystems as they provide essential nutrients to support the growth of other plants.
These annual surveys provide information about the health of our natural environment and, over time, will help us understand how the shire’s ecosystems are changing.
The project was funded by the Australian Government’s Communities Environment Program.
