Declared rates and charges for the 2022-23 financial year are also included in the report.  

Major investments across the region include:

• $2.292 million to upgrade the Timber Creek and Pine Creek waste management facilities for the construction of waste transfer systems to transition away from landfills and prevent passing on contaminated sites to future generations.
• $675k towards new staff housing in Yarralin
• $250k for staff housing and facility maintenance

Mayor Pedwell said this year’s plan was a comprehensive guide to all the triumphs, important updates, and changes to the council moving forward.  

“This Regional Plan continues to promote Council’s focus of ‘Moving Forward Together’, a sentiment that guides our approach to decision making and service delivery across our vast region and was developed through a strong focus on community engagement,” Pedwell said.  

“A lot of hard work has gone into this year’s Regional Plan, and I would like to extend my gratitude to all of those who contributed to this year’s report.”  

A draft copy of the Regional Plan was released for public consultation on 2 June for a 21-day period.
