Statement by the Mayor

Before we begin with the agenda, I would like to recognise the hard work, tenacity and achievements of former Bega Valley Shire Councillor and Mayor, Kristy McBain who resigned from Council last week.

Having worked alongside Kristy for the past eight years, I can confidently say she can leave with her head held high. While we may not always have agreed – because that is the purpose of a healthy and functioning Council – she can be proud that she always voted with the community’s best interests in mind.

Kristy worked tirelessly as councillor and Mayor, particularly in the dark days and aftermath of the Tathra, Yankees Gap and Black Summer bushfires. For many of us during those traumatic days it was her commitment to keeping the community informed as every development unfolded, that helped steer us through. On behalf of this Council and the community I would like to formally thank her for this.

And of course, who can forget the determination of a young woman, who eight years ago sat in our old chambers; a new councillor, a mother with baby Max by her side, inspiring young people everywhere that life is never too busy to be working hard for your community.

We wish Kristy all the best as our federal Member for Eden-Monaro, and we look forward to continuing to work with her in that capacity, for the wellbeing of every person in the Bega Valley Shire.

Congratulations to Australia Day Recipients in the Bega Valley Shire

The Mayor congratulated the following recipients of Australia Day Awards in the Bega Valley Shire:

·         Ms Lindy Hume, Tathra – AM for Services to Opera

·         Mrs May Blacka, Cobargo – OAM for Services to Cobargo Community

·         Chief Inspector Peter Volf – Australian Police Medal

Time Restricted Parking

This issue was moved from informal items to Council delegated functions.

With the increase in visitor numbers from other regions within NSW and the expected influx from Victoria. The Committee considers this now needs to be reintroduced to enable traffic flow and manageable parking rotation for our residents and visitors.
