This page covers Oct 2025 to Nov 2026. 16 routine items from the same period — confirmations of minutes, appointments, procedural motions, statutory land notices — stay in the Council Record. Every planning determination is in Planning and every procurement row in Contracts. A date shown as a month is the month Council's report covers; a listing dated by when Wodonga Wire first saw it says so.
