2026 Farmer Consultation Sessions

Published on 23 January 2026

Hindmarsh Shire Council will be holding Farmer Consultation sessions again in 2026.

The farming community is invited to attend a series of upcoming Farmer Consultation Sessions across the shire. The sessions will give farmers the chance to share their ideas, raise concerns, and talk directly to Council staff and Councillors, about the issues that matter the most on our rural roads and properties.

The discussions will focus on the upcoming 2026/2027 budget and capital works program, road maintenance program, tree trimming, heavy vehicle access, and Landcare projects. Council encourages all farmers and community members to come along, have their say and help guide future programs.

Hindmarsh Shire is keen to hear from the farming community to ensure Council’s planning reflects local needs and priorities.
