Inaugural Yarra Ranges Rural Advisory Committee
Cr Jim Child (Chair) and Cr Jason Callanan (Mayor & RAV Delegate) are excited to be part of this committee!
The Rural Advisory Committee will be an important conduit to inform
Council and provide constructive advice on issues and initiatives relevant to
the management and development of the rural sector within the municipality.
The RAC will have a strategic and guiding role in the rural sector. It is representative of a broad cross section
of the rural sector. Agribusiness is
recognised in the Economic Development Strategy as a key strategic sector. It is a critically important element of the
Yarra Ranges economy, providing 7% of total economic output and 6% of
jobs. The Strategy highlights the
importance of Council maintaining strong links with industry partners and local
producers. The Committee fulfils in part
our aspirations in this regard.
