Council Meeting Update - 10 September 2024

Here is an overview of outcomes from tonight’s Ordinary Meeting of Tamworth Regional Council:

Two local groups have been given ongoing certainty after Councillors tonight agreed to negotiate new licences to continue to use the Council-managed land they operate on. The Tamworth Regional Astronomy Club located within Victoria Park in East Tamworth and the Tamworth Radio Control Car Club located on Back Kootingal Road, Nemingha will both be offered three-year renewals.
Proposed changes to Council’s General Policy Register will go on public exhibition for 28 days to allow the community to give feedback. Ten changes to the register have been identified in a recent review to ensure the policies remain relevant and appropriate. A report based on feedback received will then be presented to the newly elected Council for their consideration later this year.
At tonight's meeting, Councillors received the minutes from the latest Tamworth Region Inclusive Culture Advisory Committee (TRICAC) session. One key discussion centred around the ‘Inclusion Guidelines for Public Aquatic Facilities,’ a document from Welcoming Cities. These guidelines are considered crucial to the design and delivery of the new aquatic centre. Key points include the importance of adult swimming lessons, appropriate signage to cater for non-English speakers and well supported public transport options. Additionally, it was noted that the second stage of the Women, Life, Freedom Mural is scheduled for completion ahead of the Fiesta La Peel event in October.
