Coming Soon - Revised Community Land Management Plan
We will soon be inviting you to provide feedback on the Revised Community Land Management Plan.
The Plan has been updated to ensure that it reflects Council decisions made in the past few years. In particular a number of property acquisitions and sales have occurred since the last review and therefore the Plan and corresponding Register need updating to reflect this. In preparing the revised Community Land Management Plan, the key focus is in ensuring that the Plan continues to remain compliant with its legislative obligations. Watch this space!
Australia Day Event on the Council Lawns
Tomorrow Council will be holding a public free event on the front Council Lawns from 11 am to 1 pm. This will include a free BBQ, free Gelati, free coffee/iced coffee and free entertainment for the children. Come along and enjoy the day with your family!
