Our other plans and strategies

The Adaptation Action Plan will guide Moira Shire in its response to risks from projected climate change.

The Road Management Act 2004 places a mandatory requirement that a road authority keeps a register of public roads. The purpose of the register is to list the road assets which will be maintained by Council. 

Our Recreation Strategy is developed through community consultation and with consideration of future finance and assets plans.

Moira shire Council wants to be a Recreational Vehicle (RV) Friendly Shire and seeks to proactively encourage greater visitation and economic impact from this niche tourism market.

Council is required to develop a Revenue and Rating Plan by 30 June in the year following a general election. The Plan provides a medium-term strategy for how Council will generate income to deliver on the Council Plan, program and services and capital works commitments over a 4-year period.

The Revenue and Rating Plan incorporates:

• how revenue will be generated through rates on properties (including differential rates on different property classes);
• fixed service charges that might be applied on services such as waste or recycling;
• fees and charges for services and programs;
• developer contributions and other revenue;
• revenue generated from use or allocation of Council assets (including the application of discounts and waivers);
• recurrent and non-recurrent operational and capital grants from other levels of government; and
• other activities established to deliver programs or services and generate income or reduce costs.

The Revenue & Rating Plan was adopted by Council on 30 June 2025.

• Major Culverts (A structure with the primary purpose of providing a passageway beneath a road or a path, usually but not necessarily for stormwater, with a minimum span or diameter of 1.8m, or a minimum waterway area of 3m2)
• Drainage (Pits & Pit Lids, Surrounds & Grates – Not pipes)
• Pathways (Footpath & Shared Pathways – see full definition in appendix 1)
• Kerb & Channel
• Road Pavement

The RMP sets inspection intervals, intervention levels and response times as well as stating management systems which Council will implement to ensure that its responsibilities within the Act are met.

The Road Safety Strategy and Action Plan 2025-2030 outlines Moira Shire's commitment to improving the safety and livability of our region

Moira Shire Council (Council) is responsible for the management of Regionally Prohibited and Regionally Controlled weeds and established pest animals located on rural roadside managed by Council in accordance with the Catchment and Land Protection Act 1994 (CaLP Act).
