Some exciting creeklands developments ...
June 3, 2021 was an exciting day for many an Armidale resident! After lots of work from Armidale Regional Council and community groups such as AURG and Visions for Armidale Creeklands - and with the support of the Mayor Ian Tiley and our local member, Adam Marshall MP - an announcement was made of some $3m to implement Stage 1 of the Armidale Creeklands Master Plan. More details of what the grant will achieve can be found here at Adam Marshall’s blog.
June 3 was also the day that we met with Dave Carr of Stringybark Ecological to get advice on how we can best design our new project: Black Gully Creek Billabongs, behind NERAM and the ACCKP. This proof-of-concept project was agreed to by the former Administrator, Viv May, using funds from the Bushfire Recovery Fund from the NSW State Government. Back in March we held a consultation meeting with lots of people with an interest in the project. Watch this space for more news about how it this exciting project is progressing.
