Knowing the commitment of a number of current councillors to bringing better social outcomes for disadvantaged people in the shire our GM, Jane Redden, has, with the concurrence of council, committed council to a partnership known as the Girls Program. This amazing initiative mentors young indigenous and socially disadvantaged girls for a period of three years in schooling, social, sporting, cultural and family issues within their lives.
