Moira Shire Council is calling for feedback on the proposed Festive Funding Grants as well as plans to decorate the major towns in the shire during the festive period.
Mayor Libro Mustica said due to the shire’s large size, it was not possible to deliver festive decorations across the whole area.
“Particularly decorations that would meet community expectations, in all locations, within a restricted budget,” Cr Mustica said.
“What we are proposing is to decorate the main streets of the four major towns – Yarrawonga, Cobram, Numurkah and Nathalia – that will match community expectations of a suitably festive experience.
“In addition, community groups will have the opportunity to apply for funding for events or extra decorations up to $1,000 for small towns, $2,000 for major towns, and $1,000 to recognise culturally significant days representative of the various faiths in our region.
“The overall purposed of the Festive Funding Grants is to empower communities to take ownership of the presentation of their town in the festive season, as well as celebrate and recognise culturally significant days.”
