The Drought Management Plan was first adopted by Council in 2010. It provides Council with the structure to maintain a functioning and sustainable water supply throughout the drought periods, catering for residential and commercial needs of the communtiy. This includes strategies, such as water restrictions, to preserve water and limit water use. During the recent drought, the water restrictions were reviewed numerous times, responding to the needs of the community.
Council wants to enure that the review of this Plan takes into consideration the views from the community and business within our Shire, so that the plan is robust and suitable for our area. We encourage all residents to get in contact with Council with their views and ideas to help make this happen.
