Council has released its Advocacy Prospectus 2026 which outlines where the organisation will focus its advocacy efforts to state and federal governments, particularly in the lead-up to November’s State Election. The document is designed to ensure a relevant, targeted and coordinated approach to advocacy. Find out more about the priorities by clicking the link below.

Council will advocate for aged care services in the municipality to be transitioned to local service providers, namely Grampians Community Health and East Wimmera Health Service, following a decision made at the July council meeting in Stawell. There are no immediate changes to any services for current clients and no action required for now.
Situated between the Halls Gap Primary School and Venus Baths is this community garden devoted to our local Grampians Gariwerd plants. We show a wide range of local plants, from tall trees to tiny trigger plants, from damp areas and mountain peaks. The only plants we have difficulty growing are the ones that prefer wide open grassland areas.
All maintenance work is done by volunteers and we would very much like to see more volunteers (you don't need to be knowledgeable). We have working bees on the second and fourth Friday of the month.
The weeds have loved the wet winter, so for the month of September, we plan to have a working bee every Friday.
We welcome visitors, particularly children, and the gardens are also available for weddings etc by arrangement.
