Help shape projects in Natimuk

Published on 11 August 2023

Natimuk residents are being encouraged to put their hand up to guide the roll out of town projects across the next 12 months.

New street furniture, a bespoke bus shelter and an electric vehicle charger will be delivered as part of Horsham Rural City Council’s 2023-2024 Budget.   

But first, a Community Advisory Committee needs to be finalised, with three positions remaining vacant.

The three projects have come from the Natimuk Economic & Social Plan which the community developed during 2022.

Chief Executive Officer Sunil Bhalla said more ideas were sought.

“Additional projects will be funded as part of our three-year plan which needs the community, Council and other stakeholders to work in the same direction,” he said.

“The Natimuk community is the owner of the Economic and Social Plan. As a Council, we are committed to supporting the implementation of projects within it,” Mr Bhalla said.

Remaining vacancies on the Advisory Committee will be filled at community meeting on Wednesday 23 August. 

 The following positions are now available:

• A member with an interest in sustainability and the environment
• A younger person (16-25 years)
• An older person (60+ years)

Wednesday 23 August 2023

• Nominate in person at NC2 between 3pm and 6pm
• Voting will be in person at 6pm at NC2 via show of hands
• Proxy votes will be accepted for people unable to attend the meeting.
