MAYOR’S REPORT CONT. Councillors and Council staff have been busy distributing pamphlets and materials associated with bush fire preparedness, and this work continues leading into the peak summer season. Sincere thanks to those Councillors, CEO and other Council staff who helped set up and attend the recent Mansfield Bush Market, where the Bush Fire Ready message could be further spread. The bush market was another great success with numbers of visitors a bit down early in the day, but building throughout the morning as the weather improved. The stall that Council provided served to inform and educate the community and visitors alike on what’s happening here in Mansfield, as well as promoting the Shire more generally. All in all, holding the stall appears to have been a worthwhile exercise and one which we should continue at future markets, subject to Councillor availability. I attended the Rural Councils Victoria Annual General meeting and forum held in October at the MCG in Melbourne. Perhaps the single biggest issue coming out of the meeting was the awareness of a State election in Victoria at some stage in 2018, and the need to advocate strongly for much more decisive support for rural councils across Victoria. The funding of $1m to conduct a study into sustainability of Rural Councils by KPMG will soon be finalised and should provide State Government with evidence of the issues facing Rural Councils around the State. The MAV Conference and State Council meeting followed the meeting of Rural Councils in late October and again, these meetings were both informative and well worthwhile in terms of networking and understanding the current political scene
