Mens Shed Public Meeting:
The public meeting held on the 10th of May attracted a great crowd of people
interested in establishing a Mens Shed in the Kurri Kurri area. The Kurri Kurri
Community Centre has agreed to back the committee under their banner. One would
hope that the work to hold the first meeting brings this great project into being.
Well done to all those who attended.
2030 Town Committee:
Over the past two months Planning Students from the University of NSW have been working on a project to show what the benefits of having an overall strategic town plan for the future of Kurri Kurri may be once the Hunter Expressway opens. The 50 students made their findings public on Friday the 4th of June at the BEC offices in Barton Street, Kurri Kurri. They were given an open door opportunity to develop an overall plan for the community with no constraints on spending or political interference. Their findings and assumptions were excellent. The Kurri Kurri District Business Chamber through the sub committee funded this project. Chamber member Garry O'Dell is to be congratulated on getting the students to come out of Sydney to assist us with the project. The Committee will organise a public meeting for key stakeholders later in the year to go over their options.
