\u201cThe proposed Blackbutt town redevelopment represents a significant investment by Council, including funding from the Australian Government\u2019s Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program,” Mayor Otto said.<\/p>\n

“It is critical that the community has every opportunity to have their say on what is proposed.\u00a0Tuesday evening\u2019s community meeting is so important in ensuring we get this right.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe proposed project being put forward for Blackbutt is a significant investment, comprising $550,000 of ratepayer funds plus $750,000 of funding proposed to be taken out of $1.9 million received by Council for local roads and community infrastructure from the Australian Government.<\/p>\n

“The total proposed commitment of $1.3 million is a serious decision for Council that must be made carefully and only after extensive community consultation.\u201d<\/p>\n
