VLGA Regional Transport Workshop Resources
T
he VLGA conducted a number of Regional Transport Workshops in early December 2010, designed to provide regional and Rural local governments with information specifically relevant to their situation, without them having to travel significant distances in order to access it. Three Workshops have been held to date in:
- Grampians Region (held in Horsham)
- Gippsland Region (held in Traralgon)
- Hume Region (held in Shepparton)
The topics for each Workshop were determined by the attendees to ensure maximum relevance. Linked and attached below is a list of resources gathered for these three Workshops. These will be of high value to any regional or rural local government. For further details or additional topics, contact the Local Government Transport Facilitator on (03) 9349 7943.
