At December's council meeting in St Arnaud, council resolved to review future community care service options in light of sweeping aged care sector reforms.

Through funding from the TAC Community Road Safety grants program, the Northern Grampians Shire Council has developed a road safety brochure aimed at helping culturally diverse people coming to the Shire to visit or work understand Victoria's road rules and behaviours.
The brochure has been produced in Chinese and contains information on basic Australian road rules, drink driving, fatigue, licensing and much more.
The project has been completed by the NGSC Community Development team in conjunction with VicRoads, Stawell Secondary College (Chinese exchange program) and Stawell Police.
The brochure is now available from Northern Grampians Shire Council customer service centres, visitor information centres, Stawell Secondary College website and some local businesses.
