Update from last meeting
- Public transport:
The Shoalhaven Transport Forum (STF) in conjunction with Premier Buses is developing a proposal to provide improved public transport to residents of the Shoalhaven. The STF is seeking support from Community Associations to stengthen the presentation of the proposal to State Parliament. More details her.
The Voice is happy to collect your thoughts and likely take-up rates of the proposed service, which we will forward to the group. The group also invites any residents who have an interest in this proposal to join the Forum or contact them.
