Snowy Monaro Regional Council now has three LRCs, each representing the former council areas of Bombala, Cooma Monaro and Snowy River.
Administrator Dean Lynch said, “The committees are an opportunity for former councillors and residents to serve their communities by sharing local views to the Council.”
The first meeting was held in Cooma with all three committees coming together, all 12 members in attendance, the meeting outlined the roles and responsibilities of the committee. The committees will provide input on a range of issues, including Operational Plans and the harmonisation of the former three Councils as they transition operational service delivery as a united entity.
“It was a very positive meeting and provided a platform for members to discuss what they would like to achieve. The LRC will be an inclusive committee that will work together in the best interests of the entire community. It will represent all residents and ratepayers across the new Local Government Area and will be consulting on a range of local issues to help bring communities together as we move forward together as the Snowy Monaro.’’
“I was extremely pleased with the first meeting and I excited to be working alongside its members to deliver the very best for our region,” Mr Lynch said.
