“On behalf of Council I would also like to take this opportunity to publicly thank the members of the community who took the time to detail their feedback to Council and speak to us in support of their concerns and suggestions.”
“Council will keep the community informed via updates on our website and local media as the sale of Council-owned land at Murray Road progresses,” Cr Merriman concluded.

Promotional sign to go to Planning Committee
Monday, 18 February, 2019
An application for the installation of a promotional sign at 15 Tarcombe Street, Euroa, will be put to Council for consideration at a Planning Committee Meeting on Tuesday, 26 February at 4pm.
This application was originally presented at the last meeting of the Planning Committee on 27 November 2018, but a decision was deferred to allow for additional consultation which was done by way of an additional notice in the Euroa Gazette.
Since the deferral of the previous decision, the applicant has reduced the size of the sign from 42.4 to 27 square metres on each side; however this has not been done by way of formal amendment to the application.

February Euroa Cattle Sale Report
Tuesday, 12 February, 2019
By Brad Gleeson, Landmark Euroa
Euroa agents held their monthly store cattle sale on Wednesday 6th February, where agents yarded a respectable 1300 head of cattle.
The sale commenced as always on the heavier run of yearling steers, with very few good quality pens and limited numbers in pens, prices across this category were generally 10-20 c/kg cheaper.
Prices varied depending on breed with many of the Angus and Angus cross cattle sold to fully firm rates, with strong demand for these cattle to go to future grain feeding.
