EOIs open for roadside grazing permits

Published on 06 September 2024

Farmers across Moyne Shire interested in grazing stock on roadsides are encouraged to lodge an expression of interest (EOI) to be granted a permit.

Mayor Cr Ian Smith said Council has paused issuing roadside grazing permits while a review of the Roadside Conservation Plan is underway.

“In the meantime, Council acknowledges it is continuing to be a tough season for its farming community and is also mindful of conditions leading up to the 2024/25 fire season,” he said.

“If you are interested in seeking a permit for roadside grazing between 1 November 2024 through to 30 June 2025, before September 16 you can complete an online expression of interest form.

“A hard copy can be collected from the Port Fairy or Mortlake Council office if preferred.”

“Each EOI will be assessed on native vegetation impacts and fire prevention impacts to determine if it can progress to a permit application.”
