THE Southern Grampians Shire has called on the community to share its thoughts on how the use of rural land across the shire could be diversified to support new and existing industries, through its draft Rural Land Use Strategy (RLUS).

Shire planning and development director, Andrew Goodsell presented the draft strategy to council at last week’s council meeting, with councillors voting to put it out for community consultation for 60 days.
