Rotary Park

We have our new bus shelter and amenities block up and running and the playground is taking shape. Council hopes to complete the landscaping and furniture installations (including an electric barbeque) shortly. Council is in the process of finalizing quotes for new shade sails over the playground area and when these are erected there will be a new fence erected around the playground area for the safety of the children.

Guyra Markets.

Our new Guyra Markets are proving to be a success with more stall holders participation at each event. We are getting a lot of visitors travelling through Guyra who stop for a refreshment break at our markets, and also many locals visiting and participating in the stalls and the Car Boot Sale. Last Sunday we had some very good fresh vegetables stalls, including our own Guyra Truss Tomatoes, and the two plant stalls were seen to be doing a roaring trade and were nearly sold out of all plants by the finish of the markets. The Markets’ rumour was the Tomato plants were one of the fastest selling items! Mal and Laraine Leyland’s stand was also doing a brisk trade in their very delicious home made cakes and biscuits. Remember the car boot stall is a great way to raise some much needed cash and also clear out those sheds and cupboards. I look forward to seeing you all there for the next Market on Sunday December 6 2009 .

Guyra Looks to a Partnership with

Armidale Shire Council.

Council is continuing to work with Armidale Council to negotiate terms of an agreement to share a General Manager. The aim is to produce further efficiencies and build on the strengths of the Alliance. Council held an extraordinary meeting on Friday the 30th and negotiations are continuing which will enable us to get on with the business of selecting a General Manager to take both Councils forward.
