Stuarts Point, Grassy Head and Fishermans Reach community heard at Community Catch-up
Council have issued a huge thank you to the Stuarts Point, Grassy Head and Fishermans Reach communities for attending council's Community Catch-up on Thursday.
The Stuarts Point Hall was packed with residents from Fishermans Reach, Grassy Head and Stuarts Point itself. Participants were invited to share their questions, concerns and expectations for the future with council.
All that feedback will be collated and responded to in a written report that council will then share with everyone who attended and the wider community.
The next Community Catch-up is set to take place at Gladstone Hall on July 1 2021 and will focus on the twin towns Smithtown and Gladstone.
