This year has been a tumultuous year with COVID-19 impacting us all individually whether in our profession, our employment or our interaction with our family and challenging how we provided our banking services and our support to the Corangamite community. I am proud of our staff at the Community Bank Cobden & Districts and Camperdown for their endeavour to ensure that the one thing that did stay constant was your banking services. Through COVID-19 our doors remained open and our staff retained their smiles and friendly welcoming customer service. The leadership shown by our Branch Manager, Ken Black, supported by Jason Chuck, Regional Manager and all the staff to manage the situation, to continue to provide banking services in the face of adversity and challenging times as an essential service, was selfless. The commitment from the Board and our Company Secretary Jan Fleming to continue business as usual is commendable. Without the support of these key people we couldn’t have continued banking services to our community during this time.

  • Great South Coast
    Great South Coast Infrastructure Victoria is investigating infrastructure investment in regional Victoria that builds on the economic strengths of a region, or that reduces disadvantage, primarily through providing greater access to services and economic opportunities. This fact sheet is focussed on reducing disadvantage, and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying framework for reducing disadvantage through infrastructure. The purpose of this fact sheet is to provide evidence that will inform the problem definition for each of Victoria’s nine regions through consultation with stakeholders. The project has a specific focus on areas that experience relatively high levels of disadvantage (ranked in the bottom 30% of the index of Socio-Economic Disadvantage, SEIFA) and this fact sheet provides indicators showing poor outcomes for key demographic groups living in these areas. Infrastructure Victoria invites key stakeholders and service providers to make submissions that provide evidence on which infrastructure could make a difference in reducing disadvantage for the region.

  • Corangamite Shire Council’S Submission to the Ministerial Advisory Committee (MAC) for the Inquiry Into the Environment Protection Authority
    Our Ref: D/15/43713 EPA Inquiry Secretariat PO Box 21428 Little Lonsdale Street VIC 8011 Sent via email: [email protected] Dear Ms Armytage Re: Submission to the Ministerial Advisory Committee for the Inquiry into the EPA. Please find attached Corangamite Shire Council’s submission to the Ministerial Advisory Committee (MAC) for the Inquiry into the Environment Protection Authority. Council resolved to lodge this submission at the October 27 Ordinary Council meeting and also support the issues contained within the MAV submission. Corangamite is a large rural Shire of 4200 km2, located in Victoria’s south-west and stretches from Skipton in the north to the Southern Ocean in the south. There are 11 rural townships within the Shire, being Camperdown, Port Campbell, Terang, Noorat, Princetown, Derrinallum, Darlington, Lismore, Skipton, Cobden and Timboon. Council currently operates a regional landfill and composting facility at Naroghid and also manages a closed landfill site at Noorat. The Naroghid facility is identified as a hub of regional significance in the Statewide Waste and Resource Recovery Infrastructure Plan. Whilst Council appreciates the need for environmental regulation, the current approach being administered by the EPA is not risk based and creates a significant financial burden on the community. The one size fits all approach currently being administered is the most costly system for rural communities and provides limited improvement in environmental protection at many sites. These issues need to be addressed into the future to allow the EPA to provide the most effective and efficient environmental regulation for Victoria. Corangamite Shire thanks you for considering the matters raised within its submission and would welcome an opportunity to clarify any items with you.
