Nambucca Mayor sets sights on projects
Posted
The Nambucca Shire's new mayor says her new council's attention will initially centre on three major projects.
Rhonda Hoban was popularly elected to the job after serving a single term as a councillor and two years as deputy Mayor.
She says among the big challenges are a new local environment plan and an asset and infrastructure management program.
The Mayor says the council also has to develop a long-term water supply which will require design, costing and funding for a large new dam.
"The main reason that the off-stream storage dam has ... become such an issue is that back in 2002/'03 and '04 during the drought our shire reached a point where we had 65 days water supply left and that's with our existing population," she said.
"So obviously the security of our water supply came into question."
