This process is different from previous years where residents traditionally had an opportunity to provide submissions to a draft budget. Feedback closes at 4pm Wednesday, February 4, 2026.

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.
This Australia Day weekend there will be something for everyone at Stawell Racecourse. Come along to the annual Show 'n' Shine exhibit of cars. Or feel free to enter a car ($10 per car entry). Have a look through the market and enjoy some live music, BBQ, drinks from the bar and if you're lucky a win at the raffle. An event not to be missed. Proceeds gathered will be donated back into the local community.
