FUTURE DIRECTIONS FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS IN NSW

There are plans for Tenterfield Shire and Glenn Innes Severn Councils to amalgamate in 2020. Are you willing to accept that our council office will be even further away than it is now? Is there any benefit to rate payers in rural councils for amalgamation? Rural communities are already having to cope with a reduction in services. What can community members do to retain Tenterfield Shire ? Write a submission to the panel at www.localgovernmentreview.nsw.gov.au Write to the Tenterfield Shire Council with your views and it can be included in the councils submission by 28th June. Address to - General Manager, Tenterfield Shire Council, PO Box 214 TENTERFIELD 2372 or email to [email protected] Sign the petition by Tuesday 25th June (petitions available at Urbenville Post Office, Urbenville General Store, Crown Hotel, Urbenville Bowls Club and Scofields and also Woodenbong Post Office.

An initiative of Urbenville Progress and Tenterfield Rate Payer Associations
