Huskisson Woollamia Community Voice – Update and call for your topics

Below is a quick update, plus a call for topics / issues to be raised at our next meeting which will have Mayor Amanda Findley, and SCC senior staff.
  • Amanda Findley and appropriate senior staff will attend the next Voice meeting, Monday 1st August, commencing at 7.00pm.
  • In order to have the most appropriate staff attending we’re asking you to send us the topics OR questions OR items that you would like discussed at the meeting.
  • We will then collate this list and forward to Council. We’d like this to be a collaborative meeting where the outcome is a sense that we’re all working towards the same vision, and our respective roles in that.
  • You might like to think about and/or write how you’d like Huskisson and Woollamia to be in 20 years time, and what might need to be done, or changed to achieve that.
  • You might also raise concerns about day-to-day council matters.
  • Can you please email us with your thoughts by midnight 10th July.
