Getting the lay of the land

State Member for Barwon Roy Butler has been out and about in the Cobar Shire this week and on Monday he was getting the lay of the land in Nymagee. Roy spoke with members of the Nymagee Progress Association about several issues including the ongoing absence of police at the local station, the town’s water infrastructure, which is exacerbating the existing water quality issues, and phone and internet coverage and access. “I will be raising each of these issues on their behalf with the relevant government level or department,” Mr Butler said. “Grants were another big topic, or rather, the ability to access funding opportunities. Gladly, my office can help by providing regular updates on grant availability. It was a good discussion, and I look forward to the next time I’m in Nymagee.” ▪ Photo contributed
