Report an issue
Have you noticed something unsafe like a broken tree branch or damaged playground that needs our attention?
Organising a large event?
Some types of events, such as festivals or school's cross country runs need a special permission to be held on public land.
We can all participate in the movement to minimise waste.
To celebrate Plastic Free July, we'll be popping up at our local activity centres to chat with visitors about how we can all continue reducing our waste and in particular, single-use plastics.
Come along and say hello!

Project updates
January 2024
We’re beginning stage three works in late January.
These works will involve:
Early 2024
- Installing bollards and realigning the kerb on the east side of Macedon Road (outside Riddik Café)
- Replacing damaged kerb and uneven pavers.
- Replacing bluestone crossing points with asphalt wombat crossings. The bluestone pavers will be re-purposed within the centre.
- Installing structural cells in some car parks near trees to support tree growth.
Mid-2024
- Asphalting and line marking of the entire car park.
- Upgrade to parking signage within the centre.
Improving and maintaining the safety and amenity of our local shopping centres is a priority for us.
Our Council Plan demonstrates our commitment to enhancing our activity centres and supporting traders to ensure thriving local businesses, as well as community accessibility and safety.
