  • 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.

WE WISH TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE STRENGTH, COURAGE AND WISDOM OF OUR ANCESTORS WHO LIVED WITH THIS LAND AND WERE NURTURED BY THE SPIRIT WHICH KEPT THEM ALIVE AND WELL, LIVING IN HARMONY AND UNITY” Walgett Community Action Plan Revised 2019 ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This Community Action Plan (CAP) was developed through the Walgett Gamilaraay Aboriginal Community Working Party (CWP).

We also acknowledge and pay respect to those Elders, past, present and future and those from other Nations who have found their home now in Walgett. In the introduction to its regional plan, the Murdi Paaki Regional Assembly (MPRA) acknowledges with respect the roles of the Local Aboriginal Land Councils, Native Title holders and claims groups in asserting our people’s rights to Country through the Native Title and Land Rights regimes, and affirms that MPRA’s agenda does not cut across these roles in any way.

  • Schedule of Classified Roads and State and Regional Roads
    Schedule of Classified Roads and Unclassified Regional Roads Changes to this document are captured in ‘Recently Gazetted Changes’: http://www.rms.nsw.gov.au/business-industry/partners-suppliers/lgr/arrangements-councils/road-classification.html Summary Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) is required under the Roads Act 1993 s163 (4) to keep a record of all classified roads. To satisfy this commitment, this document contains a record of the roads classified under sections 46, 47, 50 or 51 of the Roads Act 1993 that have a Legal Class of Highway, Main Road, Secondary Road or Tourist Road - as legally described by Declaration Order in the Government Gazette. To manage the extensive network of roads for which council is responsible under the Roads Act 1993, RMS in partnership with local government established an administrative framework of State, Regional, and Local Road categories. State Roads are managed and financed by RMS and Regional and Local Roads are managed and financed by councils. Regional Roads perform an intermediate function between the main arterial network of State Roads and council controlled Local Roads. Due to their network significance RMS provides financial assistance to councils for the management of their Regional Roads. The Regional Road category comprises two sub- categories: those Regional Roads that are classified pursuant to the Roads Act 1993, and those Regional Roads that are unclassified. For completeness, the Schedule includes unclassified Regional Roads. Local Roads are unclassified roads and therefore are not included in the Schedule. The recently introduced alpha-numeric route numbering (MAB) system used for wayfinding purposes in NSW does not directly relate to the legal classification of roads and has not been incorporated into this Schedule.
