- The One Council, One Event, the Ten Towns ModelCouncil has hosted Australia Day Awards and Celebrations for many years prior to amalgamation Corangamite Shire consisted of 3 LGA’s The Shire of Hampden, Heytesbury Shire and the Town of Camperdown .After the amalgamation of the 3 municipalities in 1994 Council worked with the communities to develop a new format and how to celebrate our National Day and this was achieved after a lengthy community consultation process. The desire was to bring the past formats into present and equity across our large shire. The Result The Council would rotate the Australia Day Celebrations and Civic Awards annually around the Southern, Central and Northern townships within the shire. A new concept was hatched and in the first couple of years was hard to encourage neighbouring townships and communities because they saw the Australia Day celebrations as a more localized local event rather than a whole of shire event. A renewed Interest from Communities and increased involvement on Australia Day With the ever growing popularity of the Australia Day Celebrations and the opportunity to include the Australia Day Ambassador program helped create change, interest started to grow and communities started to embrace the rotational concept and started to plan and looked forward to being the host town. Budgets Council’s budget of $1,000.00 for the Australia Day Awards and Celebrations needed to be increased, $5,000.00 was allocated. The momentum of the event was growing at a very fast rate and soon the Budget allocation to $10,000.00 to help celebrating our National Day.
