Council's Recovery Team is visiting communities across the Shire through the Community Outreach Recovery Hub program this winter.

These sessions will provide an opportunity for community members affected by the January 2026 bushfires to speak directly with Recovery staff about available support, assistance, agency referrals and recovery-related questions. Community members can also raise matters directly with Council.

Yesterday Corryong College held a Big Freeze event to help raise funds to go towards the fight against Motor Neurone Disease.

Towong Shire Council Mayor Cr Peter Tolsher went down the slide with his final words being "Wish me luck!". Big thanks to Corryong College for putting on a great event to raise funds for a most worthy cause.

Mayor Tolsher is already looking forward to doing it again next year!
