I’ve never met more patient, salt of the earth people than our Medway community. I believe they’re just asking for a fair go.

They’ve been holding community gatherings for Christmas in stinking heat and hot wind, and Easter events in Highlands icy blasts, for years, while our other towns and villages have halls to gather in.

If I were the Mayor, I’d be asking the General Manager to bring this to our next Council meeting for Councillors to sign off on, to ensure as a Council elected to represent our community we’re ensuring all our communities, no matter where you live, get a fair go.

If Management had time to bring a decision to Council a couple of months ago(that didn’t actually need to be made for at least another year) to extend $500K funding of ratepayer dollars/year for a regional gallery that we don’t own, why are asking our Medway community to fork out money for the very basics, and making them jump through hoops and over hurdles?

The Spud is safe, for now…

One of Australia's most infamous "big things" could be moved to make way for a new supermarket in the NSW Southern Highlands.

The code which controls the operation of council meetings in NSW has been sensationally scrapped by the State Parliament.

Well done to this Wingecarribee resident for staying solution-focused in her fight for NSW government support to back business integrity, and through her own struggle, calling for how we can get justice across the board for homeowners.

With NSW State Government considering more and more fast-track approval pathways, I agree with Bella that we want to make sure we have the checks and balances in place to help ensure quality building practices are encouraged.

Accountability matters.

I’ve signed in support. Will you?
