Closure of O'Neill Square - Council wishes to advise that due to work being undertaken in the area council has developed a traffic management plan which will necessitate the closure of O'Neill Square for a period. This closure will be effective from Wednesday November 12, 2014. This traffic management plan has been developed in conjunction with the RMS due to the Mitchell Highway being located within the area of works. The purpose of closing O'Neill Square is for both the safety of the workers and also the safety of the traffic. The traffic speed will be reduced as well and all heavy vehicles will be encouraged to use the new heavy vehicle route on the southern side of town for the duration of the work.

November - Asbestos Awareness Month - Don't play renovation roulette. Visit www.asbestosawareness.com.au. It's not worth the risk. November is national Asbestos Awareness Month. In the lead-up to Asbestos Awareness Day, which is today, 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. Asbestos products can most likely be found in any Australian home built or renovated before 1987, even brick, weatherboard, fibro and clad homes: in garages, kitchens, bathrooms, laundries, walls, eaves, fences and under wall and floor coverings: it could be anywhere.
