SOUTHERN Grampians Shire Council is inviting contractors from across the region to come together for a networking and information evening on Tuesday, 16 September, at Melville Oval.
This year’s event will provide insights into council’s upcoming projects and how local contractors can play a role in shaping the shire’s future.
The evening will be particularly relevant for those working in construction, design, surveying, and infrastructure, with a focus on helping businesses understand how to become a council contractor.
Attendees will hear about the capital works program for 2025 and 2026, gain practical advice on improving tender submissions and learn more about council’s procurement processes.
This information will cover topics from how projects are advertised through to how Council is planning future works.
Southern Grampians Shire Mayor, Dennis Heslin said the event would be informative and a great networking opportunity.
“This session will give contractors across the south-west the chance to hear directly from Council staff about upcoming infrastructure projects and the requirements for working with us,” he said.
The evening will run from 5.00pm to 7.30pm and will include a short presentation, introductions to Council staff, and time to network.
