Consider becoming a councillor
IF you have ever entertained the thought of becoming a councillor, there is no better time than now to start doing your homework.
I strongly urge anyone who has contemplated the idea of standing for council to get involved.
Serving as a Councillor is a real privilege, it gives us the ability to directly participate in Council’s decision making and shape the immediate, medium and longer-term future of our municipality.
If you know of someone that you think would make a great Councillor, tap them on the shoulder and suggest that they look into it.
We are seeking a diverse range of voices to join us in the future.
Now more than ever, we need to inspire great people to consider standing for Council for the future of our region.
Please feel free to get in touch with one of our current or past Councillors to find out more information about what is involved.

Congratulations to Belgravia Leisure
I would like to extend my congratulations to Belgravia Leisure for being awarded our Management and Operation of Leisure and Aquatic Services contract.

March Music Madness
All roads lead to Swan Hill for music this month.
March Music Madness begins this weekend when the Swan Hill Town Hall PACC hosts Vika and Linda Bull.
That’s followed by the ever-popular Food and Wine Festival on the long weekend. This year’s event will be headlined by Rogue Traders and supported by Sam + Sam and local favourites the Drowning Sorrows.

The March Music Madness grand finale is ROCKWIZ LIVE! on Saturday, March 18 at the Riverside Park Soundshell.
The ROCKWIZ LIVE! Back on the Road show is one to add to your calendar.
