Gwydir Shire Council works update

BINGARA SOLDIERS’ MEMORIAL HALL

Last Thursday 29 June 2023 Council adopted its 2023/24 budget. This can be found at https://www.gwydir.nsw.gov.au/ Council/Shire-News/Draft-Budget-for-2024, or you can request a copy at either of Council’s offices.

Council wishes to acknowledge and thank those who lodged submissions to Development Application for the proposed deolition of 33-35 Maitland Street Bingara, and to those who attended Council’s shopfront on Saturday 24 June 2023. Council decided at its meeting last week to investigate the structural integrity of the Bingara Council Chambers and whether it is feasible to retain the Hall’s façade as a freestanding feature. Council staff are also planning to hold a public meeting to discuss the potential demolition of the exisiting buildings, and any future site developments or building renovations. This meeting will be held sometime late July. Details of this meeting will be made available soon.

Sandbag Pedestrian Islands Bingara

The sandbag trials for pedestrian islands in Cunningham Street Bingara recommence today, Thursday 6 July, following a brief removal to accommodate the Orange Festival. These will be in place for two weeks, although the trial may be cut short if they become damaged. Drivers using the intersection are encouraged to give feedback on their placement to Shrutik Humane on 0460 001 362.
