Upper Murray Community Recovery Weekly Recovery Update - 4 March 2021

Local Government Minister in Corryong Victorian Local Government Minister, Shaun Leane was in Corryong last week and met with Mayor David Wortmann, Councillors and CEO Juliana Phelps. Minister Leane also met with Acting CEO BRV, Carmel Flynn and the team at the Upper Murray Community Recovery Hub, which gave him an insight into the recovery and rebuilding challenges across the Shire. Discussions focussed on the challenges small rural councils face with financial sustainability, the State Government’s role in helping Council to deliver key infrastructure projects and services, and the need for additional funding to help small, rural councils with emergency management. Minister Leane welomed the opportunity to spend time in Corryong. “It was great to meet the staff at the Upper Murray L-R: Cr Denise Anderson, Mayor David Wortmann, Community Recovery Hub and to learn about the Cr Peter Dikschei, Minister Shaun Leane, Cr support they are providing those impacted by last Andrew Whitehead and Cr Aaron Scales. summer’s devastating bushfires,” he said.
