Survey for Better Telecommunications Services - 09 Sep 2009
Central NSW Councils has put out a survey through Survey Monkey seeking advice from communities across its 16 Local Government areas regarding concerns with telecommunications.

"In discussion with my fellow Mayors on the CENTROC Board we are hearing growing concerns around the region particularly regarding digital television and broadband. Mobile phone coverage is also worrying people in our communities as is the provision of pay phones," said CENTROC Chairman Neville Castle.

"CENTROC has a growing reputation with the State and Federal Government for its work on understanding our telecommunications needs. Senator Stephen Conroy's Department has told us that the auditing work undertaken on broadband needs is of national significance," said Cr Neville Castle.

"In order to lobby on behalf of the region, we need to hear the real stories from real people in our region. Real stories about their concerns and needs for telecommunications services. Please tell us about your issues with Broadband, Digital Television and Telecommunications in general," said Cr Castle.

Mayor of Weddin Shire Clr Maurice Simpson agrees.

"The 16 Local Government areas of CENTROC cover an area the same size as Tasmania with about half the population. By working together, we speak with a louder voice," said Clr Simpson.

"CENTROC is using Survey Monkey, a web based tool people can use from home or can log into at our libraries. We also have hard copies of surveys on our Council counter." said Clr Simpson

Blayney - Cowra - Demondrille Rail Line - 29 Jul 2009
The consortium of rail consultants engaged by the Councils of Blayney, Cowra, Harden, Weddin and Young Shires, visited the area last week for a first-hand track inspection and discussions with possible rail users.

Three of the consultants, Max Michell from Sydney, and Frank Lander and Geoff Smith from Adelaide, met with the Mayors of Blayney, Cowra and Weddin Councils at an informal function where both parties were able to exchange important information and discuss the preliminary findings.

Following their visit the consultants have reported that the track is generally in good condition, with the main question marks being over a small number of timber bridges and the Carcoar tunnel.  Discussions with a number of potential rail users were held and at this early stage the consultants are hopeful that a good case can be mounted to utilise the full length of the line, between Blayney and Demondrille, which will open up access to Port Kembla and possibly even the Port of Melbourne, for businesses in the Central West.

It is anticipated that the report will be completed by late October once all the interested parties have been interviewed.
