Topics
Cumnock traffic count
The Acting Deputy General Manager took a question on notice about the outcome of a traffic count in Cumnock and when the results would be communicated to the community.
The community is awaiting information that may inform local traffic decisions.
Variation to community assistance project
Council approved a variation to previously allocated Cabonne Community Assistance Program funding for the Cumnock and District Progress Association, subject to design, location, staff consultation, regulatory compliance and acquittal conditions.
This allows an existing community-funded project to change scope while keeping oversight conditions in place.
