MIDCOAST Council will hold a series of community conversations from October to December, giving residents the opportunity to hear updates, ask questions and talk directly with Council representatives on their own patch.
A group of councillors and senior staff will visit 13 locations, from Harrington in the north to Hawks Nest in the south. Every MidCoast resident is welcome to attend one near them.
The conversations will update the community on local works in their area, as well as major works and programs across the MidCoast.
These will include Food Organics, Garden Organics, water security, progress with flood recovery, an update on The Bight and Tiri bridges reconstructions, what’s happening with landslips, bridges, and sealed and unsealed roads.
Other topics may include local development, strategic planning and other council activities that interest the community.
“Community Conversations are one important way we get out into the community,” MidCoast General Manager Adrian Panuccio said.
“It’s a chance to give you an update, hear from you directly, and respond to your questions.
“Everyone is welcome, and community group representatives are encouraged to attend.”
Each conversation will run for between 60 and 90 minutes, depending on the number of questions from the community. There is no obligation to stay for the full session.
No registration is required.
