The second series of local community conversations will soon roll out across the region, starting with Coolongolook on 21 September.

“This is another opportunity for us to meet communities across our region and update them on what we have planned for their area,” said General Manager, Adrian Panuccio.

“We will also be talking to the community about a number of important topics for the MidCoast. These include our focus areas of customer service, improving development assessments, climate change, economic development and roads.”

Council’s executive team will visit 15 communities from 21 September through to 22 November, including Coopernook, Coolongolook, Nabiac, Gloucester, Stroud, Harrington, Tea Gardens, Taree, Tuncurry, Bulahdelah, Hallidays Point, Pacific Palms, Wherrol Flat, Wingham, and Old Bar.

“These community visits are important because with an area that spans 10,000km2, we have a very diverse range of needs and viewpoints to consider,” added Mr Panuccio.

“Everybody is welcome, so come along and join the conversation.”

The schedule of dates, locations and times for meetings for this month is listed below, with the full list available online at Community Conversations | Have Your Say (nsw.gov.au)

Each facilitated session is expected to run for around one and a half hours and will include light refreshments. RSVPs are not required.
