“The video is broken down into the five themes of our Council Plan and shows some of our achievements in each of these areas,” Cr White said.
The video includes statistics from the Local Government Performance Reporting Framework, a mandatory system of reporting set by the Victorian Government.
Some of council’s highlights in the 2018-19 financial year were:

“The Annual Report shows that we have many more responsibilities than only roads, rates and rubbish. As well as working on infrastructure and assets, people can see we have a significant role to play in the region’s social wellbeing - fostering vibrant, supportive communities is part of what makes East Gippsland a desirable place to live,” Cr White said.
The Annual Report also includes detailed financial statements that have been independently audited by the Victorian Auditor-General’s Office.
