Council building services combine
Community members will benefit from a more streamlined and efficient building services team, with the Mount Alexander and Hepburn Shire councils partnering to deliver building services across both
The consolidation of the building services teams means a single skilled team will now provide building services to the communities of both shires, ensuring consistent and high quality service for the entire region.
Mount Alexander Shire Council CEO Darren Fuzzard said the change would improve service delivery and reduce duplication.
“By combining our resources, we can provide a stronger, more efficient service for our communities,” he said.
“This means better support for local builders, businesses and residents when it comes to building processes.”
Hepburn Shire Council’s acting CEO Bruce Lucas also welcomed the move.
“This is a great example of how councils can work together to improve services and make processes for the community. The same professional team will now assist all residents, no matter where they live in our two municipalities,” he said.
There will be no changes to the way residents and businesses access services.
The team will continue to operate locally, ensuring the community receives reliable and responsive support.
