Welcome to Mitchell Shire Council

We are now accepting nominations for the 2019 Australia Day Awards for Citizen of the Year, Young Citizen of the Year, Community Event of the Year, Community Group of the Year and Access and Inclusion Champion Award.

The Fire Danger Period is now in place. This means you can no longer burn off and permits to burn will not be issued. To check what else you can and can't do during the Fire Danger Period or on Total Fire Ban days, please visit the CFA website.

Consultation has started to paint a picture of what challenges, concerns and ideas residents have for Broadford as discussions around the future of the township continue. Mitchell Shire Council recently released the emerging ideas paper, forming the first part of preparing the Broadford Structure Plan (BSP), which has outlined some of the key opportunities and challenges the town may face.

Mitchell Shire Council is calling on election candidates to urgently commit funding towards the $80 million Wallan freeway interchange and Watson Street upgrade. The call comes as a result of VCAT’s decision to approve a major clay quarry at 2330 Epping-Kilmore Road in Wallan earlier this month.

Residents of Wallan will be more connected and active with a new play space at Coffey Drive underway as well as upgrades to play spaces in Roulston Way and Lisa Place planned for early next year.
