EVENTS

Please note this event is very heavily reliant on the weather; with predicted rain please keep an eye on road conditions on the day of the event. National Parks and Wildlife Service are encouraging anyone planning to go to the event to register so they can contact you direct if anything changes.

In light of the predicted rain the event has been scaled back and everyone is encouraged to bring water and a packed lunch for the day. The focus of the day will be on taking in the natural environment, the lake and watching for all the amazing bird species on offer.

Over the past few weeks you would have seen Council’s Management Executive delivering its community consultation program for Council’s new Delivery Program and Operational Plan with a presentation to all staff at a breakfast meeting held at the Walgett Sporting Club. Councillors and the Management Executive have completed a week of community consultation at all towns and villages in the shire with several hundred residents attending the presentations and pop-up community consultation stands.
In addition to this you should have now received a printed copy of the survey in your post box, a survey inviting all residents and ratepayers to have their say in planning the upcoming Delivery Program 2022/23 to 2024/25 and operational Plan 2022/23.
The survey will help identify the community’s main priorities and ambitions for the upcoming Council term.
The survey is also available on the Council web site and closes on Tuesday 12th April 2022.
