Episode Details

Rural communities in Victorias Central Goldfields Shire are outraged as their council proposes closing three vital waste facilities in Bealiba, Dunolly, and Talbot to cut costs. The move, aiming to save $3.2 million by 2027, is met with resistance due to increased illegal dumping risks and long-distance travel for waste disposal. With rising fuel prices and a cost-of-living crisis, residents argue the plan is impractical. The draft also includes staff cuts, grant reductions, and land sales. As consultations begin in June, the community fights to prevent the budget from burdening them further.
