When: Saturday August 24, 2.00 to 3.30 pm

Where: Jamberoo Youth Hall, Reid Park

To: All Candidates for the September Council elections

In the lead-up to the September Council elections, JVRRA (Jamberoo Valley Ratepayers & Residents Association Inc.) will be hosting a ‘Speak-with-the-Candidates’ meeting at the Jamberoo Youth Hall on Saturday 24th August, 2.00 - 3.30 pm.

This will be an informal meeting, without a set of formal questions for the candidates. The meeting is designed to give members of the Jamberoo community the opportunity to speak with the candidates in person, and not only ask them questions about their platforms and the values they would bring to Council, but also let them know about the local issues that they would like candidates to consider if they are elected.

Each Candidate/Ticket will be provided with a display table and chairs for their team. Members of the public will be invited to come to the Jamberoo Youth Hall at any time

between 2.00 and 3.30 to participate in the discussions.

Light refreshments will be available.

Current topics that JVRRA has been raising with Council include:

● Management of traffic in Jamberoo for vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists

● Flooding issues in Jamberoo and maintenance of drainage infrastructure

● Review of the Plan of Management for Jerrara Dam Reserve

● Public spaces in Jamberoo - in particular, recreation areas suitable for teenagers and

school-age children

● Protection and enhancement of agricultural lands in our Local Government Area

We hope that the candidates will support informed and constructive discussion on these issues, and will listen to the ideas and suggestions that members of the public

We hope that the candidates will support informed and constructive discussion on these issues, and will listen to the ideas and suggestions that members of the public bring to the meeting.
