Slow down around our local schools.

School Zones Are Back In Force: With local students heading back to the classroom this week for Term 3, please remember that 40km/h school zones are officially back in effect.

School zones operate on school days from 8:00am – 9:30am and 2:30pm – 4:00pm. Let’s all do our part to keep our kids, families, and school communities safe.

Please slow down, double-check the signs, and stay completely alert behind the wheel.

Community Survey: Based on Council’s current financial position, together with ageing infrastructure, it has been determined that current service levels are unsustainable. Together with the community, Council must make some difficult decisions and compromises to shape the future. Council is asking for your help to guide this process by sharing your opinion on:

• What Council should prioritise

• Which services are most important

• Where spending should increase, stay the same or decrease

• How we can best shape Cabonne’s future

Some of the questions involve real tradeoffs because resources are limited. Your feedback will help Council understand what the community values most. Complete the survey and help shape the future of Cabonne here: https://micromex.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_2t6UzRi4aazrsmW.

Neighburhood Watch: The last two weeks there has been a vehicle hitting bins, road signs and more recently doing burnouts on people’s grass and nature strips. If you have any information regarding these events, please contact and report all incidents to Cowra Police.

9 Out Of 10 Bowel Cancer Cases Can Be Treated Successfully When Caught Early: Cancer Council NSW is encouraging greater participation in bowel cancer screening, as NSW currently has one of the lowest participation rates in Australia. The test is free, simple, quick and can be completed at home in your own time.

The Potting Shed Canowindra: For bare root trees, locally grown natives, tubestock perennials and more, head along to The Potting Shed Canowindra at 2304 George Russell Drive. Opening days for July are Saturday 25 and Sunday 26 10am – 4pm, Monday 27 2pm – 5:30pm, Thursday 30 Friday 31 4pm – 5:30pm.

National Tree Day Is Here: Looking to add some greenery to your garden? Don’t miss Cowra Council’s National Tree Day giveaway on 24 July at the Col Stinson Park Netball Courts, 12:30pm – 3:30pm. Head along and collect a free tree and help improve our local environment.
