Bourke Shire Council’s round of community consultation meetings concluded with visits to Byrock, Enngonia and Fords Bridge last week.
On the top of the agenda at Byrock, was the news that filtered water would not be made available to the village. The Byrock meeting also discussed a new fence at the airport and some items for inclusion in council’s strategic plan.
At Enngonia, residents wanted to see the airstrip reopened, and the continued upgrading of the Enngonia Hall and CWA Hall. They also had concerns regarding the reliability of the Telstra tower and the need for speed signs to encourage traffic to slow down on the highway through town.
