RESIDENTS of the Telegraph Point area are being encouraged to have their say this month as part of Port Macquarie-Hastings Council’s Engaging and Communicating With Our Community program.
The council will be hosting a ‘meet and greet’ at the Telegraph Point School of Arts from 5.30pm on Monday 25 November.
It is the third in a series of engagement sessions designed to improve communication with residents of the region’s rural communities.
Meetings have already been held in Comboyne and Lake Cathie with a range of issues discussed at both. Minutes from the two meetings are available on the council’s website.
Mayor Peter Besseling has urged Telegraph Point residents to make the most of the opportunity to ask questions or to have their say on matters of local interest.
Residents can lodge questions by completing a form available on the council’s website at www.pmhc.nsw.gov.au/communitymeetings and submitting it one week before the meeting (18 November).
Question forms are also available by contacting council on 6581 8111.
The process will ensure those councillors attending the meeting have enough time to prepare the necessary responses.
Councillors approved the Engaging and Communicating With Our Community program in March this year with a number of meetings to be held between now and June 2016.
After Telegraph Point meetings are also scheduled over coming months for North Haven, Pappinbarra, North Shore, Long Flat, Kew, Wauchope, Byabarra, Bonny Hills, Rollands Plains, Laurieton, Kendall/Lorne and Beechwood.
More information about the Telegraph Point meeting is available by contacting Bronwyn Lyon at Port Macquarie-Hastings Council on 6581 8111 or by emailing bronwyn.lyon@pmhc.nsw.gov.au
