THE Alpine Shire Council was set to decide on the purchase of land in Tawonga South fronting the Kiewa Valley Highway for a public toilet at their monthly meeting yesterday.

According to the council plans, the council was to decide on purchasing a parcel of land at 244-252 Tawonga South (next to Bogong Ski Hire), for four unisex toilets, a small car park and a pathway to the West Kiewa River.

Council stipulates the design is not finalised.

At the meeting council was to receive the results of their 2023 community satisfaction survey, which consisted of phone interviews with 400 shire residents.

Council was also to decide on two planning applications, including the development of two food and drink premises, seven dwellings, two shops, and an office at 228-230 Kiewa Valley Highway in Tawonga South.

Councillors were recommended to issue a notice of decision for the planning permit, signalling council’s intention to grant the permit.
