Issue #4

January 2024

Message from the Mayor

Welcome to 2024! I trust you had the chance to enjoy some time with family and friends over the Christmas and New Year period. It's exciting to now have the 52nd Toyota Country Music Festival Tamworth underway. The 10 days brings such a great atmosphere to our region - as well as bringing a major economic boost as a result of the business and visitor activity it generates.

Reflect, respect, celebrate Australia Day

We are inviting everyone to come together across the region this Australia Day to reflect, respect and celebrate the strength and spirit of our local communities. Wherever you will be spending Australia Day this year, there is an event nearby for you to take part in and feel part of your community.

Walters Bridge on Kelso's Lane Duri will be replaced in the first half of 2024

Official unveiling of the portrait

Portrait gifted

Tamworth Regional Gallery ended 2023 with a new addition to its collection. The portrait of the late Elder Aunty Yvonne Kent will go on display in May, coinciding with the Archibald Prize exhibition.

Pensioner rebates part of Special Rate Variation

As part of our ongoing conversation about the Special Rate Variation proposal, we wanted to share more information about our pensioner rebates and hardship policies which were on public exhibition in December and January. These policies were reviewed in response to feedback received during the community consultation period, recognising the need for adequate financial assistance options for those ratepayers who may be facing genuine hardship.

Work on 10 new footpaths

Going for a stroll? Residents in South and North Tamworth will soon have more footpaths to enjoy thanks to funding from the NSW Government. Construction started in late 2023 on the first of 10 new footpaths across the city and will continue in 2024.



New footpaths will be constructed throughout Tamworth to improve pedestrian safety.
