Kristy Hourigan – Resignation

It is with mixed emotions that I have resigned from my role as a Councillor at Strathbogie Shire Council in the Seven Creeks Ward.

It has truly been a privilege to serve the community and contribute to its growth and development.

I am proud of the work we have achieved in the past three years. We now have:

• A new (and impressive) footbridge across the Seven Creeks
• One (soon to be two) pedestrian crossings in Binney St, Euroa and upgraded streetscapes
• A splash park in Nagambie
• A new website
• A 2021/25 Council Plan and Community Vision developed with community at the heart
• Delivered capital works in the tens of millions that included:
  • Toilet upgrades at the Friendlies
  • Sewer at the Euroa Tennis Club
  • Pathway upgrades at the Euroa Farmers Arms Museum
  • Footpath Upgrades
  • Truck wash for Euroa Saleyards

On top of this we have changed the way we engage with the community to ensure that their input is welcomed and heard. In 2021/22 alone we engaged on 51 projects and received 4215 community contributions.
