Aerodrome 2024-25 fees and charges

At last night’s meeting Council resolved to re-advertise the Aerodrome fees and charges for the 2024/25 financial year. Aerodrome fees and charges previously advertised in February 2024 had not included a CPI increase, which has now been added prompting a Council resolution that the fees be re-advertised for public comments. To make a submission, visit the Now Open page of Council’s website.

Urban Forest Plan

At last night’s meeting, Council endorsed the Urban Forest Plan for public exhibition, seeking community input and feedback to further shape and develop the plan. The Urban Forest Plan establishes a 10-year action plan for the urban trees Council manage, including increasing planted trees within the shire to ensure areas remain liveable and vibrant for current and future generations.
