The Council Plan 2025-2029 is being developed from a range of contributions, including a Deliberative Engagement Panel made up of community members from across the Shire. It's now time for the wider community to have their say on the Plan's priorities for our services and amenities. Complete the survey on our Participate Hepburn webpage before Sunday 27 April. Hard copies at libraries and hubs.
Due to the multiple public holidays, there are some impacts to Council's services and offices.
Gender Equity entails the provision of fairness and justice in the distribution of benefits and responsibilities on the bases of gender. The concept recognises that people may have different needs and power related to their gender and that these differences should be identified and addressed in a manner that rectifies gender-related imbalances.
Council recognises gender inequality and its link to family violence and violence against women.
Through the Council and Municipal Public Health and Wellbeing Plan 2021-2025, Council acknowledges and commits to actions, both internally and in the community, to be a leader in gender equality and promote respect and safety in our community.
