March 2025

Message from the Mayor

Some of the major projects Council delivers for our community get considerable attention – and rightly so. However, we do have a range of smaller annual programs which get little notice but make a big positive grassroots impact. One of these is the Annual Donations Program for which the 2024/25 recipients were recently announced with 32 groups sharing $66,800.25. Eight of them are from Barraba!

New strategy drives parking changes

Greater turnover of on-street parking spaces and the addition of about 200 more free off-street all-day parking spaces in Tamworth's CBD are among the benefits drivers can expect after Councillors endorsed the Tamworth Regional Parking Strategy. There are also actions to improve parking in Manilla and Barraba.

Council has proposed removing the Reduction in Water Consumption Charges Policy to make property owners responsible for costs associated with an internal leak, including the cost of lost potable water as reflected on their water rates notice.
