Kempsey Shire Council unanimously voted to join Local Government NSW and Country Mayors Association of NSW in declaring a state-wide road emergency. kempsey.nsw.gov.au/Your-Council/C…

“We’d really like to see residents get involved with the future of engagement between Council and the community by viewing the draft documents and taking a quick three-question survey or making a formal submission.” To complete the survey, please head to yoursay.macleay.nsw.gov.au/community-enga…

Included in the draft strategy is a Community Participation Plan with its aim being an easy-to-use guide for residents to know when and how they can participate in decisions. “This document explains how the commitments outlined in the overarching strategy will be delivered.”

HAVE YOUR SAY... ON HOW YOU HAVE YOUR SAY Residents are being asked to tell Council how they would like to contribute on decisions made in the Kempsey Shire. As our community evolves so too does the way in which Kempsey Shire Council engages with residents.
