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.

Helpful information about bushfire prone areas, termite zones and flood zones.
Most parcels of land within the Northern Grampians Shire are within a bushfire prone area. To check if your land is within one of these areas, you can visit Land Vic Property Search.
Building works within a bushfire prone area require a Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) assessment to be submitted with a building permit application. Please note that if you are required to obtain a planning permit for your building work due to the Bushfire Management Overlay, your BAL level will be set by the planning permit.
The whole of Northern Grampians Shire is a declared termite area.
This means all buildings proposed to be constructed within the municipality must be provided with measures to protect the building from termites.
Referred to as land subject to inundation.
Land likely to be affected by flooding in a one in 100 flood event will mostly be identified with a Land Subject to Inundation Overlay or LSIO. To check if your land is within a flood prone area, you can visit Land Vic Property Search.
