The council is lobbying for financial support from the state government for establishing housing projects aimed at its workforce. This initiative is part of a broader effort to mitigate the ongoing staff shortages troubling various regional towns.

Regional Demand for Housing Support

Staff shortages in regional areas have been a persistent issue, leading several councils to request government help. Worker accommodation is seen as a vital component in attracting and retaining employees in these regions.
