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.

In accordance with guidelines contained in the Geographic Place Names Act 1998, Council proposes to name the new clubrooms at the Great Western Recreation Reserve, 42 – 58 Brunel Street, Great Western Thomson Community Centre.
This is in recognition of the contribution that Mr Frederick ‘Eric’ Thomson and family have provided the Great Western community which are worthy of commemoration.
Council will consider submissions received and the formal naming of this place at a Council Meeting on 4 August 2025 commencing at 12.30pm in the Council Chambers, Pleasant Creek Historic Precinct, Stawell.
