Your ideas wanted for the budget

THE council is once again seeking public submissions for the next budget. Written submissions for the 2016/17 financial year will be received until the close of business on April 7, posted to PO Box 595, New Norfolk or emailed to dvcouncil@dvc.tas.gov.au. All submissions received will be considered before the new council budget is finalised in late June.

No workshop this week

THERE will be no council workshop this Thursday night. This follows a council decision last year that no workshops be scheduled on the Thursday night prior to Good Friday.

The next workshop will be held in the New Norfolk Courthouse at 6.30pm on March 31. The format starts with an open session which the general public is invited to attend and this is for the first half hour. There are no agenda documents for council workshops.

We're heading your way, Westerway

THE Westerway Community Hall will be the venue for the monthly council meeting this Thursday, March 17.

The evening will start with a community forum at 6.30 and this is your opportunity to come along and ask any questions of concern, have a chat with your councillors, or let us know what you think about the idea of a footpath through the town. The formal council meeting will follow at 7pm.

Please join us - and if you would like any assistance or information about the meeting or community forum, please do get in touch. The meeting agenda is available online and in hardcopy from the council chambers.
