  • Mayor Manuel Martinez Foreword
    Walgett Shire Council 2018/2019 Annual Report Mayor Manuel Martinez Foreword To the Ratepayers and Residents of Walgett Shire, It gives me great pleasure to report on the numerous Council activities and to look back on the many achievements made by Council over the past financial year. As Council and its community continue to battle one of the worst droughts on record, Council has been proactive and made a number of improvements to its water services infrastructure to ensure the security of water for the community. In 2018/19 a new bore was completed at Cumborah, and Council secured an $8.3 million grant from the NSW State Government as part of its “Safe and Secure Water” program to increase the height of the Walgett weir, and construction of a fishway. Council activities undertaken each year range from road maintenance / reconstruction, parks and gardens, recreation facili- ties, libraries, youth centres, housing, water and sewer services, health and waste services. Council also supports the many events that take place each year across the shire. These events bring countless visitors to our towns and villages, which showcase the shire as a true tourist destination, and while the economic stimulus improves the economic health of our com- munity, the events also preserve the many cultural traditions of the shire for future generations. Road infrastructure renewal continues to be a top priority, and in the past financial year a number of large projects were completed including the Mercadool Rd gravel re-sheeting, reconstruction and sealing of Wanourie Rod, reconstruction and sealing of sections of the Come By Chance Rd.

    Possible Skilled visa positions advertised in the Orana region, 30 days to 28 August, 2019 Inclusion of these positions is based on local knowledge of employer requirements, but there are a few points that potential applicants/migration agents need to note; 1. All of these positions have been advertised on Seek.com, Jora and iworkfornsw.nsw.gov.au in the past 30 days. Applicants may need to Google search the businesses to find their contact details and more information. 2. Some of the positions may have closed, but it would still be worth contacting the employer - it is quite possible that they have not received any suitable applicants and will be willing to consider your application. 3. To be eligible for a 187 visa, an applicant must have 3 years of full time work experience in a closely related field 4. While the positions may be suitable for a Skilled Migration applicant via the DAMA, 187 or 489 visa pathways, there has been no confirmation from any employer that they will consider sponsorship...but if you don't apply for the job and have the discussion with the employer, then you will never know.
