Town Committee Membership

No longer on display. Expired on 05 May 2023, 05:00 PM

Are you a community minded person with great ideas for improving our towns? We are seeking expressions of interest from the community to join our Town Committees in Nhill, Jeparit, Dimboola and Rainbow.

We are looking for people who want to help the Town Committees achieve their core purpose which is to:

  1. provide leadership in the promotion of the district, the improvement of the community’s livability and its economic development, liaising with sporting clubs, community organisations and businesses to identify and help coordinate any such opportunities;
  2. advise Council of necessary service delivery and infrastructure improvements in its community, and to prioritise such requests and submit them in early December of each year for consideration in Council’s budget;
  3. provide a means of effective and efficient communication between Council and the community;
  4. provide feedback and comments on matters referred by Council or other matters brought to the Committee’s attention;
  5. facilitate local activities and events, including welcome functions for new residents;
  6. provide advice to Council as to how the funds of the Town Committee are expended.

If this is something you are interested in, please visit www.hindmarsh.vic.gov.au/council-committees for the application form and further information. If you would like a hard copy application form please visit the customer service centre in either of our towns. Applications are due to Council by 5pm on Friday 5 May 2023. Council will make the final appointments to the Town Committees at its meeting on Wednesday 31 May 2023.

For more information contact Petra Croot, Manager Governance and Human Services at info@hindmarsh.vic.gov.au or via phone on 03 5391 4444.
