Local adults are invited to participate in a number of events that are being held in each of the libraries in the region as part of Adult Learners Week from Sunday 1 September, 2024.The nation-wide celebration of learning is held in the first week of September each year and is an important reminder that anyone can take the journey through adult learning, regardless of your age or stage in life.

Aquatics funding plan adds up

A strategy which sets out how Council will be able to fund an aquatic, sport and health centre was unanimously supported by Councillors at the August 13 Ordinary Meeting. The decision drew applause and cheers from the overflowing gallery of residents and sports group members who want to use the facility.

Public art trail-blazers

Bendemeer locals have raised $50,000 through the Bendemeer Art Show committee and private donations to support the New England Sculpture Track (NEST).

Kentridge exhibit

As one of the most powerful voices in art today, William Kentridge’s I Am Not Me, The Horse Is Not Mine exhibition will be on display at the Tamworth Regional Gallery from 7 September – 3 November.

Service rolls on

Councillors have voted to keep the Waste Wagon service going for another year. This service started as a trial back in 2022 and lets residents book a fee-based collection for bulky household waste.

Winter wonderland

Peel Street was a winter wonderland on Saturday 10 August, wowing the crowd with the magic of A Winter’s Night. Peel Street was abuzz, between Bourke and Brisbane Streets, with the spirit of winter.

Turning old linens into new beginnings

Do you have unwanted household linen you want to dispose of without them going to landfill? We have an answer! Council has partnered with Give a Sheet® for the Planet to host a community event aimed at recycling unwanted household linens. The collected items will then be sent to a state-of-the-art textile recovery facility in Australia, where they will be transformed into new recycled materials for use by Australian manufacturers.

Parking zones in focus

Drivers in Tamworth will notice some changes to the way we monitor restricted parking zones from next month. After a successful trial period earlier in the year we are replacing the manual tyre chalking system with a Licence Plate Recognition Camera.
