A MESSAGE FROM THE GENERAL MANAGER This document details the projects and services we will deliver in 2022-23 and includes our budget for the same period for the information of our community. Over the coming 12 months we will continue our focus on delivering services to our community in ways that add value and build trust. This includes the provision of waste, water and sewer services, stormwater maintenance, vegetation management, maintenance of our parks, reserves and sporting grounds. We will also continue to provide library services, economic and cultural development services, environmental services, development assessment and building services, amongst other things. It will also include the ongoing delivery of Federal and State funded projects to improve infrastructure and amenities across the MidCoast. We will also continue our focus on improving the roads that connect our community through another year of delivering our $100 million roads program. Some of the major works to be undertaken include the replacement of the Cedar Party Creek bridge at Wingham and stage two of the Bucketts Way corridor upgrade. Our annual resealing program along with our rural, urban and regional roads maintenance programs will continue, however we acknowledge that the climatic conditions we are facing will have a long-lasting impact on the condition of our road network and our ability to maintain it is placed under pressure because of this. In the coming year we will be undertaking several important infrastructure upgrades for our water supply and sewer treatment network. We will be working on the upgrade of the Nabiac water treatment plant including the expansion of the borefield and an expansion to the Hawks Nest Sewage Treatment Plant. We look forward to delivering on the commitments made to our community as set out in this plan and in doing so, to progress the long-term priorities of the Community Strategic Plan ‘MidCoast 2032: Shared Vision, Shared Responsibility’.
