Current Projects and Opportunities

Creating a brighter future for our rural city

Council advocates strongly on projects and issues the community has identified as priorities.

These projects are shared with State and Federal political representatives. Council also speaks regularly about these opportunities with senior bureaucrats from relevant government departments.

The projects are derived from the Council Plan and are focused on improving the liveability and sustainability of Horsham and the wider municipality.

Advocacy Priorities

A key role of Horsham Rural City Council is to advocate to government and private sector investors for support for priority projects. This advocacy work helps Council achieve its vision for a vibrant, inclusive community. Large, transformational projects cannot be solely funded through Council’s revenue streams and require significant investment, particularly by State and Federal Governments
