Community feedback sought on Development Application

At its meeting last Thursday Council decided to extend the display period for Development Application 24/2023 to 4:00 pm, Friday 30 June 2023 to allow community members more time to lodge written submissions. Following the closure of submissions but prior to any final decision being made a public meeting will be held.

This Development Application on display is for the demolition of the buildings located at 33 and 35 Maitland Street Bingara and remediation of these sites. These buildings are the Council office, former Veterinary Surgery and Landcare Offices (known as Adams’ Garage).

Councillors and Staff are considering a range of options as to what will happen with these community assets and area. Nothing has been decided yet and the project is at a preliminary stage only. The proposal to seek approval to demolish the existing buildings is being sought in case the preferred option requires this action.

Council staff will host a shopfront at the Bingara Library on Saturday 24 June 2023 from 9:00am to 5:00pm to assist any resident who would like assistance to make a submission. On this day you will be able to seek information, share ideas and suggestions for consideration, and provide stories and photos regarding the buildings and their history and significance.

If you have any questions, please contact Council at mail@gwydir.nsw. gov.au, or telephone 0267242000 or make an appointment to see me or my delegated staff.

Kind regards

Max Eastcott

General Manager
