Overview
- Council adopted the budget as drafted after a motion to remove the contested road upgrade failed, meaning funds for that project remain in the 2026/27 plan.
- The budget vote finalises municipal spending priorities for the year and reduces the council’s immediate ability to reallocate money away from the road project.
- The South East Zone Squad roster was confirmed and will compete at the South Australian Country Football Championships in the Barossa Valley on 10–12 July.
- Regional sport results over the weekend included Mount Gambier Pioneers women defeating Kilsyth 83-67, Port MacDonnell beating Robe 77-35, Glencoe defeating Kongorong 61-40, and Penola edging West Gambier 37-31.
- Community initiatives continue alongside council business with the Rotary Club of Bordertown fundraising to replace a local x-ray machine and the Glitterocalypse Pride Dance Party scheduled at Metro this weekend.
