Strathbogie Shire Councillors have voted to eliminate the need for a Shire-wide Australia Day event as of 2018.
Local Australia Day celebrations will continue to take place in Avenel, Euroa, Longwood, Nagambie, Strathbogie and Violet Town on 28 January, 2018.
At next month's Statutory Meeting, Councillors will decide the location of the Australia Day citizenship ceremonies.
However, an additional amendment, to meet with members of the Indigenous community in a Council-hosted forum to discuss changing the date of Australia Day in the Strathbogie Shire, was added to the resolution supported by Councillors Amanda McClaren (Mayor), Kate Stothers (Honeysuckle Creek Ward), Deb Swan (Lake Nagambie Ward) and Alistair Thomson (Mt Wombat Ward) and not supported by Seven Creeks Ward Councillors Mick Williams and John Mason and Malcolm Little (Hughes Creek Ward).

Three bluestone pavers were installed at the Travellers Rest on Kirkland Avenue, Euroa in honour of the Strathbogie Shire's Victoria Cross recipients.
This is part of a State Government initiative, in conjunction with the Victorian Anzac Centenary Committee, to help Victorians connect with their Anzac Centenary stories.
The three pavers, in honour of VC recipients Lieutenant-Colonel Leslie Maygar, Corporal Alexander Burton and Major Frederick Tubb, provide a great opportunity for locals and visitors stopping in Euroa to acknowledge the gallant efforts of these men.
The pavers complement the VC Memorial Park (also on Kirkland Avenue), which has three life-size bronze statues of Maygar, Burton and Tubb, complete with storyboards of the soldiers' history.

Member for Northern Victoria Jaclyn Symes planted the sapling, which will one day grow into a River Red Gum known as the 'Separation Tree', which Strathbogie Shire Councillor (Seven Creeks Ward) John Mason collected at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Melbourne.

The State Government, in conjunction with Nagambie Lakes Tourism and Commerce, has recently launched the Black Caviar Trail which aims to connect regional Victoria's equine industry with a self-guided trail that tells the stories that have shaped the thoroughbred industry.
The touring route takes in 25 designated sites of significance, commencing at Flemington Racecourse and terminating at Chatswood Stud near Seymour.
The drive takes visitors through the picturesque countryside of regional Victoria, travelling past state of the art training and breeding facilities.
