The bats may have left Phillips Gardens, but now the penguins are moving in!

For Book Week 2025, our Library staff dressed as characters from popular children's titles.

Maree dressed as Neville from 'Neville's Great Escape' by Sean E Avery, the book currently circling the Gardens as a Story Walk.

Children were entertained by staff throughout the week at storytime and craft sessions in Maryborough and Dunolly libraries.

FLOOD WORKS COMPLETION

The October 2022 floods caused $9.8 million damage to infrastructure and property throughout our municipality.

Whilst most repairs have been carried out, the Victorian Government recently approved the sixth and final stage of our flood recovery upgrade program.

The next stage of upgrades, due for completion by late October, include construction of floodways, removal of flood debris, road rehabilitation and drainage structure erosion repairs.

Works will be carried out at various locations across our Shire.
