Moira Shire communities recognise that a creative community concept is inclusive of all arts forms, and also has a broader reach to include architects, town planners, landscapers, engineers, performers, artists and musicians, all those who are creative. 

Moira Shire Council also recognises the role the arts play in developing social wellbeing across all age levels and abilities and its essential role in promoting community resilience and recovery in times of crisis.

This strategy has been developed using surveys, cultural mapping, community engagement and consultation. We have relied on research conducted at state and federal levels to inform our goals, and to capitalise on funding opportunities as they arise.

The purpose of the Asset Management Plan is to establish the processes for operations, maintenance, renewal, refurbishment and upgrade of assets under the management of the Council based on meeting a level of service.

The Asset Management Strategy is provided to record existing asset management practices to ensure they are applied consistently across the organisation and supported by a continuous improvement action plan.

 This strategy will play a major role in setting strategic direction to improve safety in the Moira Shire through the provision of community education and collaborative partnerships that support sharing information, knowledge, resources and responsibility.

Moira Shire Council began reducing greenhouse gas emissions through the Local Greenhouse Action Plan 2006.  This plan compiles actions stemming from both our Moira Shire Council Plan 2017-2021 and our Moira Shire Council Environmental Sustainability Strategy 2017-2021.

Our Disability and Access Inclusion Plan helps us identify, reduce and remove barriers experienced by people with a disability. It guides our ongoing investment in areas including:

• accessible car parking at key community service sites,
• improving pedestrian and cycling infrastructure to support use by people with impaired mobility,
• upgrading public toilets to be wheelchair accessible and
• active promotion of inclusiveness and participation of people with a disability, in activities, events and festivals held in Moira Shire.

The Victorian Disability Act 2006 requires all public sector bodies to have a Disability Action Plan.

Councils Domestic Animal Management (DAM) Plan 2021-2025 was prepared in accordance with the Domestic Animals Act 1994. The plan creates the framework for the planning, development and evaluation of Councils animal management services and summarises the professional, consistent and proactive approach undertaken within the municipality.

This DAM Plan has been developed in four stages. The first stage involved a review of Council’s current DAM Plan, policies, procedures and strategies in order to identify gaps and prioritise future actions. The review included conducting a survey within the local community, which encouraged them to have their say on domestic animal management issues. 

Endorsed by Council 27 October 2021.

The Domestic Waste Water Management Plan is a document that articulates Council’s risk management planning process for domestic wastewater.

To ensure Moira Shire retains a thriving, resilient economy into the future, Council has developed its Economic Development Strategy 2019-2023. 

This strategy builds on the existing strengths of the local economy while seeking to embrace new opportunities that create sustainable diversity and resilience.

Council will encourage existing businesses to become more sustainable. It will support development opportunities that enhance the Shire’s long-term economic, environmental and social sustainability.
