Council is preparing a full business case to support representations to various Ministers for the provision of a potable water supply for Boorowa.
Hilltops Mayor, Margaret Roles, and a number of senior Council staff addressed the Boorowa Business Chamber (BBC) at its recent meeting and potable water supply was high on the agenda for discussion.
Council reps explained Council is taking a strategic approach to the issue, preparing a thorough business case around Boorowa's water supply issues, to be adapted and presented to various Ministers and Government Departments. This will allow Council to lobby from a solid business footing for a reliable Boorowa water supply.

Mr Robinson said Mayor Roles and staff provided updates on road repairs around Boorowa, the allocation of funds in 2022-23 budget for the Caravan Park Kitchen upgrade, a new demountable kiosk building for the taking of bookings and payments and work which has already been completed for the mapping and installation of fire hydrants at the park.
Corcoran Place lighting was also discussed and Council representatives explained that lighting of the development was a legacy issue from the initial development approval in 2000, which is still being investigated.
Fees and charges for venue hire of Council owned buildings was also discussed. Mr Garrett said, "increases in charges are of particular concern to local not-for-profit organizations with many citing the costs as prohibitive for the hire of community owned facilities."
A full update on planning for the Boorowa Woolfest was then presented by Tourism and Events Manager for Hilltops Council, Mel Whitechurch.
Mr Garrett described the meeting and discussions with Council as positive and responses overall to BBC questions as satisfactory.
The meeting concluded with a presentation from Lyn Diskon around funding received for the Boorowa Moving Sheep project.

I'm passionate about supporting and advancing the local communities of the region for social and economic growth and have a keen interest in the current affairs affecting residents. I love being outdoors and I live on a small rural property just outside Young. My spare time is spent with family and friends, camping, fishing, gardening, looking after my small flock of merino sheep and being with my dogs which are my companions. I love to travel and I have been to New Zealand, Europe and Canada. I hope to travel more broadly in Europe in the coming years.
