Sunraysia residents can view the latest and most comprehensive report on Mildura Rural City Council’s operations following endorsement of the 2024-2025 Annual Report this month.
Council says the report, which was endorsed at this month’s Ordinary Council meeting, is one of Council’s most important annual documents, serving as a scorecard on how the organisation is progressing in achieving the objectives of the Council Plan.
The Council Plan is a four-year roadmap for the organisation, informed by the feedback from thousands of local residents through an extensive consultation process.
Some of the bigger initiatives that have progressed include:
- Completed the Nichols Point Recreation Reserve sports facility
- Completed the Red Cliffs Early Years Hub
- Progress on plans to revitalise the Feast Street precinct within our CBD
- Completed and opened the Trail of Lights
- Completed the latest stage of the Deakin Avenue Centre median redevelopment between Seventh and Eighth Streets.
- Launching our boldest and most innovative tourism campaign – Tropical North Victoria. Visitor spending over the past 12 months has hit $220 million.
Updated information about Council’s operations and services includes:
- Mildura Rural City Libraries loaned more than 250,00 items to our community
- 81 groups were supported with more than $700,000 in community grants.
- More than 5,100 kilometres of sealed and unsealed roads were maintained.
- Council issued 822 building permits for works totalling more than $240 million over the past 12 months
- $111.7m of this work was commercial development – which is higher than the average the past eight years.
- Installed more solar PV on our buildings, which allows us to slash our annual energy bills by more than $300,000.
