Murray River Council has adopted its updated Delivery Program 2025-2029, which outlines key priorities and actions for the next four years.

The document outlines projects and programs identified by the community, or through council’s plans, policies and budgets, and will be supported by the yearly Operational Plan and budget.

Mayor John Harvie said the Delivery Program was a vital document.

“This document is our roadmap for the next four years, detailing how we will deliver services and projects that meet the needs of our growing community,” he said.

The Delivery Program focuses on implementing the strategies, policies and plans developed through the last Delivery Program period, along with activities relating to general operations, maintenance and renewals.

Before the program was finalised, the community was able to offer feedback during a 28-day exhibition period.

Some minor amendments were made following suggestions made internally by managers but no additional submissions were received from the community.

Mr Harvie said the lack of community feedback would be taken as a positive sign.

“Whilst no community feedback was received during the final consultation period, we take this as a positive indication that there is general support for the priorities and direction outlined in the Delivery Program, indicating alignment with community expectations,” he said.

The Delivery Program will be implemented from Tuesday, July 1.
