Nagambie Streetscape Update

If you notice some surveyors working in High St in coming days get excited! It’s the first steps in the works to update the Nagambie streetscape. The streetscape plan aims to revitalise the CBD. Working with Go Nagambie and the community ensure the plan is creating more parking for cars and long vehicles, bigger green spaces, and improved pedestrian access.

Update on the Nagambie Library

We’re pleased to let you know we’ve found a new temporary home for the Nagambie Library. Working with the Goulburn Valley Regional Library Corporation we’ve leased a property at Shop 5 in Nagambie Central, High Street, Nagambie. We’ll keep you updated as we know more on official moving dates.

Show your support for waterways management

Locals are being urged to show their support for Council’s campaign for funding to deliver the waterway manager role which keeps the waterways safe and the region thriving. At our May Meeting, Council made the decision to consider exiting the role of waterway manager if funding to fully cover the cost of delivering the service is not provided. The service costs Council and ratepayers up to $200,000 each year, to deliver and it’s not our responsibility.

We have created a proforma letter people to send to the Minister for Outdoor Recreation Sonya Kilkenny, along with social media tiles to share so the community could show its support.

Advocacy for roads and bridges

Our Mayor, Cr Laura Binks, has been out and about advocating for our region. Last week she spoke to the Australian Government’s inquiry into the implications of severe weather events on the national regional, rural, and remote road network.

She told the committee it was an issue of significant importance to Strathbogie Shire Council and spoke about the damage bill from the October floods, which we estimate could be as high as $50 million.

Cr Binks called for a review of the funding to Local Government and also used the opportunity to speak about the impacts on the closure of Kirwans Bridge to the community and region.

Community grants

Don’t forget our $10,000 Community Strengthening Grants close on August 7. The grants have doubled in $$$ and we have simplified processes for application and administration.

The $1000 Quick Response Grants will be open year-round, and approval is by the CEO ensuring they are quick and accessible. While the funding pool for Event Grants has increased from $30,000 annually to $50,000, with event organiser able to apply for up to $5000.

Report Dog Attacks

Council is reminding dog owners to report any incidents of your dog being attacked to Council so the appropriate steps can be taken.

Strathbogie Shire Council Mayor Cr Laura Binks said it was incredibly important to notify Council of any incidents.

“Council has a legal obligation to undertake the appropriate course of action following a dog attack and this cannot be achieved if the victim doesn’t come forward,” Cr Binks said.

“Ultimately, to reduce the risk of these incidents happening in the first place, we continue to urge pet owners to do the right thing.”

In Strathbogie Shire, there is a zero-tolerance policy for dogs being off-leash and unrestrained, unless you are using the dedicated off-leash dog park in Euroa.

“All dog owners must ensure their dogs are on a

At its most recent meeting council voted in favour of leasing out the vacant shop in the IGA complex, for a twelve-month period with options of further twelvemonth periods. The purpose is to use it as a temporary home for the Nagambie Library, whilst the original building undergoes renovations. In the meantime, the Mobile Library will continue to visit Nagambie, adjacent to the Black Caviar statue in High Street.

The milestones keep rolling in from the Nagambie Football Netball Club. Big shout outs to Rebecca Comi on reaching the 150 games and Michael “Manga” Mensfeld for 350 games. This weekend the Lakers play ladder leader Shepparton East. Should be a big test for the senior footballers as finals time is looming.

Until next issue, stay safe.

leash when being walked, or they are confined to their property at all times,” Cr Binks said.

“As a dog owner, it is your responsibility to ensure your dog is properly secured. These vital responsibilities go such a long way to reducing the risk of dog attacks.”

Cr Binks said not only were these important responsibilities, but they are also a requirement under section 45 of the Domestic Animals Act.

“Our compliance officers take a zero-tolerance approach to dogs being off-leash and/or wandering dogs.

“These laws are in place to ensure the safety of all.”

Cr Binks said that dog owners could be infringed or prosecuted if they do not comply with the Act.

“Every dog owner must take responsibility for their dogs. We urge our community to do the right thing and follow these simple rules so you do not end up in a serious situation.”
