Public holidays

Moyne Shire Council observes all Victorian public holidays.

The Victorian government give councils a choice of having a public holiday on Melbourne Cup Day in November or selecting a local day of significance.

At the December 2024 council meeting, councillors nominated Warrnambool Cup Day (the first Thursday in May) as their preferred day.
