Following on from the success of our Northern Gramps Girls Can campaign last year where council lit up exercise spaces in the early mornings, several of the shire’s sporting facilities are due to light up again in 2026. Between May 4 and September 30, spaces in Stawell and St Arnaud will light up from 6pm to 7.30pm on Monday and Wednesday evenings, and from 6am and 7am on Wednesday mornings.

Northern Grampians Shire Council at its April Council meeting agreed to give further public consultation on the naming of an unnamed road off King Street and Hill Street, Stawell, as Fleetwood-Smith Loop.
This is in recognition of Leslie O’Brien “Chuck” Fleetwood-Smith who was born and raised in Stawell. Mr Fleetwood-Smith was a “wayward genius” of Australian Cricket during the 1930s. A bowler that could spin the ball harder than any of his fellow peers. He is considered as the Sharne Warne of his era and was regarded as a rare talent.
Any comment on the proposal must be done in writing and sent to the Chief Executive Officer, Northern Grampians Shire Council, PO Box 580, Stawell 3380 or emailed to ngshire@ngshire.vic.gov.au by Friday, 27 May 2022. Council will consider submissions received and the formal naming of this road at a Council Meeting at Stawell on Monday, 4 July 2022 commencing at 12.30pm. LIANA THOMPSON CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
