Those interested are invited to bring their knowledge to the table by joining a working group.

In 2016, Upper Hunter Shire Council adopted the plans after community consultation.

Action Plans from the master plans will now be prioritised by community members, supported by council staff. Each town action plan includes dozens of recommendations.

These include short-term plans, like tree planing; medium-term plans, like heritage story boards; and long-term ideas, like introducing more pedestrian crossings.

At upcoming meetings, working groups will prioritise the items, and any interested people are welcome to attend.

The Merriwa Tourism and Promotion Committee is expecting to meet at 6pm, Monday, February 6, at Council Chambers, Merriwa.

The Scone Town Centre Revitalisation Working Group will meet on Tuesday, February 7, at Council Administration Centre, from 6pm.

The Aberdeen Working Group will meet at 6pm, Monday, February 13, at Aberdeen Community Hall.

And, the Murrurundi Town Centre Revitalisation Working Group will meet at 6pm, Monday, February 20, at Murrurundi Bowling Club.

Residents are advised this event will take the place of the Murrurundi Community Leader’s Forum.

The purpose of the plans is to create more attractive and vibrant retail destinations, and public recommendations are welcome.
