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.

    The Strategy and Assets Committee, 9 June 2020, voted to create a new category of park, Destination Parks, and voted that Huskisson would be one of the four sites for a Destination Park.  The Voice did not receive any communication from Council regarding this proposal.  The report to the Council meeting is here.
