Council invites you to join us to celebrate and honour local achievements at our annual Australia Day ceremonies in St Arnaud and Stawell on Monday, January 26. There are also partner events across the shire in townships such as Navarre, Stuart Mill and Marnoo.
The Stawell and St Arnaud Brand Strategy and Identity has developed a distinct identity for Stawell and St Arnaud and an authentic and compelling story for each town. The individual qualities of each town and its surrounds will provide visitors and locals with the awareness and inspiration to appreciate, celebrate and build upon the unique tourism value that Stawell and St Arnaud offer.
