FOLLOWING the recent release of the Southern Grampians Shire Council (SGSC) draft Small Towns Strategy (STS) and the invitation for community feedback on the document, residents of one of the towns covered in it have taken issue with multiple parts of it, one going so far as to call it “appallingly sloppy”, and another claiming parts were directly taken off Wikipedia.

The draft focuses on future services and infrastructure in Balmoral, Branxholme, Byaduk/North Byaduk, Cavendish, Coleraine, Dunkeld, Glenthompson, Penshurst and Tarrington.
