- Council holds one Ordinary Meeting in Inglewood and Texas every six months on a rotational basis
The Wednesday 22 March Ordinary Meeting of Goondiwindi Regional Council will be held at the Texas Memorial Hall.
The meeting which begins at 9 am is a chance for Texas residents and the wider region to connect with Council and have their voices heard.
Residents can register by calling 4671 7400 or by dropping into the Texas office by Thursday 16 March.
A morning tea will be provided at 10.30 am.
Since becoming the Mayor of the Goondiwindi Regional Council, the Honourable Lawrence Springborg has insisted that regional voices be heard from all across the electorate.
“Given the vast size of the entire local government area of Goondiwindi, spanning over 19,000 square kilometres, it is essential to consider the viewpoints of the entire Goondiwindi region, rather than just concentrating on the town of Goondiwindi,” Cr Springborg said.
“This is about being in the community and bringing Council decisions to the people they affect – whether that’s through our Ordinary Meetings, regular office hours or Councillor road trips.
Council holds one Ordinary Meeting in Inglewood and Texas every six months on a rotational basis since the start of the Mayor's term in office.
The next Ordinary Meeting outside of Goondiwindi is scheduled for Wednesday 23 August in Inglewood. Council will advertise more details closer to the time, with all residents once again invited to attend.
The Mayor and other councillors work from the Inglewood Civic Centre and Texas Cultural Centre on a regular basis.
In addition, on the fourth Friday of each month, Cr Springborg conducts office hours at Inglewood Civic Centre and on the second Tuesday of each month at the Texas Cultural Centre.
Appointments are available in line with visits to these towns - please call 07 4671 7437 to make an appointment.
“I’ve said from the beginning that I will be serving Goondiwindi Regional Council – emphasis on ‘Regional’,” Cr Springborg said.
Cr Springborg works out of the Inglewood and Texas Council offices regularly, bringing core decision-making to the area’s more regional communities.
