Draft budget to be discussed
MOYNE Shire Council will hold a special meeting next Tuesday, May 7, to discuss the draft budget.
Moyne mayor Cr Ian Smith said the meeting had been called for councillors to consider the draft budget and put it on public exhibition for community feedback.
He said a separate confidential item would provide the opportunity for councillors to resolve the appointment of a new chief executive officer.
“The budget has been prepared over the past few months, taking in feedback from the community,” Cr Smith said.
“There’s no denying that the financial situation is tough, but we are in a good position and have put together a responsible and manageable budget that continues to deliver on services the community expects.”
Cr Smith said they were also very excited to finalise the appointment of a chief executive officer.
“We have found an excellent candidate to fill the role and lead the organisation, and we look forward to being able to announce who the successful person is publicly in the days following the meeting.”
The special meeting will be held at 9.30am next Tuesday, May 7 at Port Fairy.
The open section of the meeting will be broadcast live via council’s facebook page.
