MAYOR’S REPORT The Mayor, Councillor Paul Volkering, will present the monthly Mayor’s report to the Council as follows: As we enter the warmer weather, and following a drier than normal Spring, we are reminded of the importance for our respective communities to become “Fire Ready”. 4. 4 Mansfield Shire Council – Ordinary Meeting of Council: 21 November 2017 9. 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

  • 21.03 SETTLEMENT 21.03-1 Overview the Diversity on Offer
    MANSFIELD PLANNING SCHEME 21.03 SETTLEMENT 25/11/2010 C21 21.03-1 Overview 08/11/2007 C13 The diversity on offer within the Mansfield Shire is attractive to many people for many different reasons. Whether it is the snow in the winter, the lakes in the summer or the various rural pursuits on offer all year round, there is something for everyone in the region. The settlement pattern in the municipality is a reflection of people’s preferences for the various lifestyle pursuits. The Shire offers variety in housing choice and employment opportunities, as well as excellent services and amenities. As the profile of the Shire continues to evolve it is important that residential, industrial, commercial and retail development within the Mansfield precinct is facilitated in accordance with the Shire’s Urban Design Framework. Whilst quality of life is a significant factor in attracting people to the area, the Shire must offer many choices in housing and cater for the needs of the population in terms of community services, retail and business services, recreation and cultural activities. The Shire also needs to offer a wide range of employment opportunities. The key areas to focus on in the long term strategy are primary production, tourism, knowledge based industries such as research, training, administration and education, and finally health, recreation and service industries. The future growth of the various settlement areas will be dependant on many factors with a main issue being the availability of water and the ability to store water for sustainable living. Some catchments in Mansfield Shire are already ‘fully committed’, therefore requiring careful management of new dams.
