Council Meeting
The council will consider the Hillside housing plan and the draft street tree strategy.
About this event
Ordinary Council Meetings are where the Mayor and councillors vote on decisions that shape Townora. Anyone can attend in person or watch the live stream with captions. Residents may speak for three minutes on any agenda item. Register by noon on the day of the meeting.
This month's meeting will consider two major items: the Hillside housing plan, which sets out where and how new homes can be built on the hillside suburbs, and the draft street tree strategy, which guides how the town plants, protects and maintains its street trees over the next decade.
