Main Street beautification workshops: Council is running workshops in Bungendore and Braidwood regarding the beautification of the main streets. The workshops are to generate and discuss ideas and concepts as to what the community would like to see in their main streets. This will include types of street furniture, what tree and other plantings would be appropriate, and what can be done to beautify or activate the public spaces.
The meeting in Bungendore will be on Thursday 9 March from 5.30-7.30pm at the Bungendore Council Chambers, 10 Majara Street. In Braidwood, the workshop is on Wednesday 15 March from 5.30-7.30pm in the Old Library, Park Lane.
The meetings will be facilitated and attended by relevant QPRC staff with information regarding the process from the workshop through to implementation. RSVP for the events is required and you can find the links to the events on Council’s Facebook page or website or contact Tracey Lamont on 6285 6308.
Community Survey: Council has received almost 200 responses to the community survey that will help inform our actions over the next 10 years.
These insights, along with service reviews, will be used to develop the Community Strategic Plan and will be on the table for the incoming councillors after the September election.
The survey is open until 10 March and council would love to hear from people from all backgrounds and all over the region. Please get involved and have your say at: http://yourvoice.qprc.nsw.gov.au/our-future-make-it-yours. Hard copy surveys are available at the three council offices.
