"We had to make the decision to put off the last two Shire Vision 2041 Roadshow Sessions in Stawell and St Arnaud to comply with government directions and keep everyone safe," he said.
"It is a real shame as we've had great turn-outs and input at our roadshow sessions last week so to lose that momentum is a bit disappointing.
"However, the Stawell and St Arnaud sessions will be rescheduled for as soon as we possibly can and I encourage everyone to jump online and fill out the survey so we can hear your thoughts about our region's future."
