Local History 

At the Ordinary Meeting of Council on 19 November 2024, Council adopted the Local History Strategy 2025 – 2029, an exciting project of setting out how to preserve, collect, document and promote the decades of history in our region.

Our vision for Local History is to have structure surrounding the retention and recording of local history within our communities. We have six key plans endorsed by Council:

  1. Oral History Plan 
  2. Digitisation Plan 
  3. Implement Key Stakeholder Working Group 
  4. Shire History Internal Procedure Plan 
  5. Preservation Plan 
  6. Community and Social Media Engagement Plan 

This is an exciting journey, and we are keen to connect with our communities and capture local history along the way. If you would like to find out more information, or have any questions, please contact [email protected] or visit a Shire library.
