Shire goes on show
Moorabool’s tourism assets were showcased to visitor information centre co-ordinators from across the state last week as part of the Victoria Tourism Industry Council’s annual summit. Participants sampled a range of attractions and cafes in Moorabool shire, with stops made at Lal Lal Falls, Kryal Castle, St Anne’s Winery, Mill Cottage Café and Werribee Gorge.
Councils unite on emergencies
Moorabool council is one of five central Victorian councils that will use a $50,000 grant from the federal government to develop a regional approach to helping communities recover from natural disasters. Moorabool, Macedon Ranges, Mitchell, Mount Alexander and Hepburn shires will use the funds to develop shared emergency relief and recovery guidelines and training for staff across the municipalities. The project is due to start in September and will take a year to complete.
