A SUBMISSION imploring councillors not to pass the Southern Grampians Small Towns Strategy document was made by Glenthompson and District Community Association, vice president, Trevor Burns, at the first Southern Grampians Shire Council (SGSC) ordinary meeting for 2024 on Wednesday night.

Mr Burns expressed disappointment that feedback from the Glenthompson community appeared to have been disregarded by council in the final draft of the Strategy.
