In June, 2024 we announced we were successful in securing funding for 7 out of 14 projects that were submitted as part of Victorian Government’s Regional Development Victoria Tiny Towns Fund.
Projects are being delivered across our Shire in townships including Adelaide Lead, Bealiba, Majorca, Bowenvale, Majorca, Dunolly, Talbot and Carisbrook.
Federal and state funding streams are critical for small rural councils such as ours to deliver new and upgraded infrastructure and so we are grateful for this funding to deliver these really important projects for our community.
