By Lachlan Ellis<\/p>\n

There might not be any in-person ribbon cutting for the time being, but Mayor Cr Tom Sullivan is optimistic that 2022 will be a big year for Moorabool Shire.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause we\u2019re going to have two elections in 2022 (State and Federal), I think we want to make sure we have very sound projects that are fully costed and stand up to economic scrutiny, to present those to governments or political parties,\u201d Cr Sullivan said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe also want to be strategic about what we\u2019re seeking to do \u2013 not just shiny bauble stuff, I mean basic infrastructure that\u2019s needed into future. For argument\u2019s sake, industrial land in Moorabool is something we\u2019re aware of and are looking to make sure is enhanced, to foster greater economic growth and jobs in the community.\u201d<\/p>\n

With the Omicron variant spreading rapidly and restrictions lower than in 2021, Cr Sullivan believes illness, and the supply shortages that widespread COVID illness is causing, will be a major challenge for Council.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe resources to physically get the work done\u2026not just in government but across the economy, we\u2019re seeing the supply chain under stress. Timber\u2019s hard to get, steel prices are increasing, so material prices for Council might increase\u2026resourcing is something we\u2019ll have to keep an eye on,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
