Moorabool Shire Council has expressed its disappointment that their main town has once again missed out on a funding stream, due to being classified as urban.
Bacchus Marsh has been deemed ineligible to apply for the Federal Government’s new $400 million ‘Regional Precincts and Partnerships Program’, due to the ABS’ ruling that Bacchus Marsh is part of the ‘Greater Capital City Statistical Area’ (GCSSA).
The Federal Government accepting that definition means that Bacchus Marsh is no longer eligible for Federal regional funding streams.
