Flood works update
Two packages of works to restore our road network following the October 2022 floods are now well underway.
Works are being delivered by local contractor Shay Excavations and our Operations team.
Flood debris removal works have also begun.

Next steps for Carisbrook Levee
The final stage of Carisbrook Levee project was completed in June 2023 and we are now working with our funding partners to confirm a date for an official opening.
The final stage of the levee will be subject to a 12-month defect period from this June completion date.

Changes to parking in Maryborough CBD
In recent times our local business community and service providers have been calling on us to enforce parking restrictions in Maryborough’s CBD.
They’ve seen an increasing number of motorists parking in the CBD precinct all day, which has meant potential customers haven’t been able to access time-limited car parking spaces when doing their shopping or accessing services.
From Monday 7 August, Council’s Local Laws team will begin patrolling the Maryborough CBD.
Throughout August they’ll be issuing warnings to motorists who overstay in time designated spaces and who use disabled bays when not permitted to do so. From early September fines will be issued for those that do not comply with restrictions.
This approach complements the Maryborough Police who have recently been enforcing parking in loading zones and no standing areas.
We urge community members to support these changes which will increase turnover of car parking spaces and better support our local business community.

OPPORTUNITY FOR LOCAL TRADESPEOPLE
Here at Council, we maintain hundreds of assets. These include towns halls, buildings, kindergartens, senior citizens, sporting facilities, playgrounds just to name a few.
We can’t maintain them on our own, which is why we call on tradespeople for minor projects and maintenance work throughout the year.
We’re currently creating a Trade Services Panel – a list of tradespeople that we can call on to support us with this work.
To keep our money local, we’re keen to see as many local trades on this list as possible – services we are looking for include rubbish bin cleaning, appliance repairs, window furnishings, carpentry, handyman, shade, builders, pest control, welding, tiling, paving, flooring, cabinet makers, painting, plastering, glazing, bricklaying, fencing, asbestos removal, test and tagging, removalists and locksmiths.
We encourage you to register with us. To find out more visit www.centralgoldfields.vic.gov.au/tenders or contact Council’s Procurement team on 5461 0610.
