Storm and flood recovery continues, community meeting scheduled
Storm and flood recovery efforts continue around the Neerim, Noojee, Tanjil Bran and Walhalla areas in the wake of June’s severe weather events.
Bushfire Recovery Victoria (BRV) is coordinating clean-up efforts, with Baw Baw Shire Council, Regional Roads Victoria (RRV), the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) and the West Gippsland Catchment Management Authority (WGCMA) all involved in repairs on the ground.
A total of 627 kilometres of roads have been impacted in Baw Baw Shire, with an estimated damage and clean-up bill of $3 million to Council-maintained roads, and even more costly damage to roads maintained by RRV and other authorities.

Council endorses Library transition
Bass Coast Shire Council has formally endorsed the transition of West Gippsland Regional Library Corporation (WGRLC) to a not-for-profit organisation.
This recommended change will not impact services or the support Council provides, but will help prepare for changes prompted by the removal of Library Corporations from the Local Government Act 2020.
Under the Act, Councils are now required to establish Not-For-Profit entities. The change provides benefits to how libraries are operated, including access to greater opportunities such as philanthropic donations, private sector funding and innovation. This enables a strong sense of independence, whilst limiting the financial risks often faced by Councils.
