New resident handbook now available
Those who have made or are looking to make Northern Grampians Shire home can benefit from a new guide to important information for residents thanks to an updated version of the Northern Grampians Shire New Resident Handbook.
The guide aims to bridge the local knowledge and awareness gap that can accompany moving to a new town or city.
Mayor Karen Hyslop said council staff had created the guide to ensure new residents felt supported and connected.
“The handbook features a range of information such as introductions to our various townships; details for local businesses, sporting and community groups; and contact information for our health organisations such as medical centres and hospitals,” Cr Hyslop said.
Northern Grampians Shire a smooth one.
“Whether someone is growing their career, building a strong base for their family to thrive or settling for a slower pace, they can find all they need and more right here.”
Hard copies of the New Resident Handbook are available from council customer service offices and libraries in Stawell and St Arnaud, along with local businesses and real estates.
