Message from the Mayor

Here we are at the end of another year - where did those 12 months go? It was a busy year which included the election of a new team of Councillors to lead our region. Your elected representatives are making every effort to make choices and take actions which serve you - our community - best. On behalf of all Councillors, I wish everyone in our community a merry and safe Christmas.

Tamworth Region Mayor Russell Webb

Beware of bites!

With the warmer weather well and truly here, it means the mozzies are too! Aside from being a pain, mosquitoes can carry serious diseases so remember to stay safe outside, especially around your pool.

Christmas hours

It’s been a huge year for our region, and as we come to the end of 2024 there are a number of changed operating hours for our facilities over the Christmas and New Year period you should be aware of.

Work starts on visionary raised walkway

Preliminary works are underway for the Tamworth Regional Skywalk - a visionary raised walkway amid the treetops of Victoria Park extending 1.5km from Endeavour Drive up to the Scenic Oxley Lookout. Tamworth Region Mayor Russell Webb said the Skywalk is expected to become the premier walking attraction of the New England North West. "It will be a unique recreational activity designed for people of all ages and abilities," he said.

New facility in Kootingal

Kootingal residents can now enjoy a state-of-the-art community hub with the opening of the Kootingal Multipurpose Centre. After eight months of refurbishments, the centre boasts a flexible, open-plan design, including a newly built library.
