Welcome to Mitchell Shire Council

We're developing a new website and we need your help to make it more user-friendly and to help people access more services online. We're holding a focus group at 7pm in Broadford on Monday night (7 May). We'd love to see you there. Click to register now.

Following input late last year, we've developed a draft Domestic Animal Management Plan. The four-year plan focuses on improving Council's pound, investigating mandatory de-sexing of cats and a dusk to dawn cat curfew and investigation a possible on-leash dog policy, including the possibility of fenced off-leash areas. We're seeking your input now.

The historic Tallarook Mechanics Institute will be demolished and rebuilt after irreparable damage was caused by a devastating fire last week.

Council is calling on its resident shutterbugs to showcase what they love about where they live by entering the MyMitchell Photo Competition.

The fire danger period has ended, which means you can now burn off. In residential and semi-rural areas, you can burn off on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Please click here to find out more or to check what area you are in and don't forget to register your burn with ESTA on 1800 668 511 to avoid unnecessary brigade call outs.
