The amendment to the zone will allow the proponent to develop the land into four new rural residential allotments. The planning proposal is on public exhibition from October 8 2014 to November 5 2014. During this time the proposal may be inspected at the Narromine Shire Council Office, 124 Dandaloo Street, Narromine during normal office hours. Any interested person may, within the specified period, make written submission to Narromine Shire Council with respect to the proposal. If the submission is in the form of an objection, reasons for the objection are to be included in the submission. Council advises that unless requested otherwise, any submissions received will be considered public documents and made available for public viewing if required. In making a submission, a person is able to remain anonymous. However, as this may limit the ability to discuss concerns raised, anonymous submissions may be given less weight in the overall assessment.

In the lead-up to Asbestos Awareness Day (Friday November 28) all Australians especially homeowners, renovators, tradies and handymen need to 'Get to know Asbestos this November' by visiting www.asbestosawareness.com.au to learn how to protect themselves and families from exposure to dangerous asbestos fibres. Many wrongly believe only fibro homes contain asbestos.

At its Ordinary Meeting held on October 8, council adopted a rewards policy.

Council will offer a reward of up to $5000 to people providing information on vandalism to council-owned-or-managed property. The reward is payable for information leading to legal action being taken e.g. criminal proceeding resulting in a conviction, finding of guilt or offence, formal police caution/warning or a juvenile justice conference.
