Roads funding leads Moyne Shire Council’s wishlist ahead of this year’s state election.
Council has named the five top priority items it will be pushing to parties and candidates ahead of the November 28 election.
Heading the list is funding for upgrades of Bartons Road in Nullawarre, a 33km Woolsthorpe-Mortlake road link, the Port Fairy footbridge and the Koroit Youth Space.
Council is also calling for funding to create a Community Benefits Policy for Alternative Energy Projects.
Council believes this policy would create a formal policy framework requiring energy developers to deliver tangible local benefits.
Mayor Jordan Lockett said Moyne played an important role.
“Moyne Shire makes a significant contribution to this state in agriculture, tourism, and increasingly in clean energy,” Cr Lockett said.
“These projects reflect what our communities need.
“We’re not asking for anything that isn’t justified on the numbers and on the evidence.”
