Support of Local Media: The Mayor put forward a Mayoral minute last week which stated that Cabonne Council continue to support local media in Cabonne through advertising of public notices. The Office of Local Government recently introduced temporary modifications to some regulations in response to COVID-19. Councils are now only required to publish notices such as tenders, development approvals and other information on their websites. However, as the small communities in Cabonne rely on their local newspaper to get information, Cabonne Council will continue using them to communicate and engage with the community on matters affecting them.
