Southern Grampians Shire Council will be holding its first virtual Council Meeting on 12 August 2020 starting at 5:30pm. To ensure local government decision making can continue during the coronavirus pandemic the Victorian Government introduced changes to the Local Government Act 2020 to allow for council meetings to be held virtually from 1 May 2020 until 1 November 2020.
Due to the stage 3 Restrictions commencing across regional Victoria from Thursday 6 August 2020 including Southern Grampians Shire there will be no gallery or physical Council meeting for members of the Public to attend in person.
