From the Mayor's Desk - June Council News
It’s been another busy month for Warren Shire Council. The Council administration building renovations are nearing completion, and we are all busy preparing for the new financial year.
Council has adopted its 2021/2022 Operational Plan and Estimates, following a 28-day public exhibition period. The plan outlines a robust Capital Works program which includes upgrades to the Warren Memorial Swimming Pool, Warren Cemetery extensions, and urban and regional road rehabilitation, construction and resealing.
To support our program of road upgrades, Council will also be applying to Round 3 of the Fixing Local Roads Program, to fund the following local road priorities:
- Completion of Ellengerah Road Construction to the Shire boundary;
- Bitumen Reseal Program on priority local roads;
- Rehabilitation of Nevertire – Bogan Road Segments 4 & 6;
- Gravel Resheeting Program on priority local roads;
- Construction of Tyrie Road;
- Construction of Old Warren Road Segment 26 and 28;
- Upgrade of Gradgery Lane Bridges; and
- Construction of Gibson Way.
I recently attended the General Meeting of the NSW Country Mayors' Association and was heartened to see the overwhelming response to continue advocating for better health services for regional areas like ours.
In other news, Council will be hosting a stand at the Warren Youth Foundation’s GROW – Services Expo. Visitors to the Expo can meet with Council staff to hear about current and future projects planned for the Warren Shire community. The GROW – Services Expo is in collaboration with the Royal Flying Doctor Service and will be held at the TAFE grounds on 7 July.
We are ending the month with new COVID-19 restrictions across NSW, and as we continue to navigate the evolving situation, I want to thank Warren Shire residents for helping to keep our community safe during these times.
