Inverell Library is trialling weekly after-hours study sessions to support local HSC students as they prepare for their final examinations.

The sessions commenced on Tuesday, 11 August and will continue each Tuesday evening until 3 November 2026, providing students with access to a quiet, supervised and distraction-free space for individual or group study.

After-hours access will be available from 5.30 pm to 7.00 pm, with students required to enter the library before the normal closing time of 5.30 pm.

Mayor of Inverell Shire, Cr Kate Dight, said the trial recognised the important role libraries play in supporting young people and lifelong learning.

“The HSC period can be a demanding time for students and Inverell Library is pleased to offer a safe, quiet and supportive environment where they can focus on their study. Library staff regularly see students using the library during exam preparation and this trial provides additional structured time for those who may benefit from a dedicated study space.”

Two staff members will be in attendance during each session and will be available to provide support, including targeted demonstrations of the library’s online information resources. Students will be asked to sign a register and provide an emergency contact. Light refreshments will be provided.

The trial will be reviewed in mid-September to assess student demand, operational requirements and the overall value of providing extended access during the HSC examination period.

Inverell Shire Council has endorsed the renewal of all asbestos cement water mains within the Yetman water reticulation network, with the project to improve reliability, reduce water losses and address ageing infrastructure nearing the end of its useful life.

The Yetman Water Supply Scheme services 68 water connections and operates under a water licence allowing an annual extraction volume of 35 megalitres. Water main breaks and associated losses have contributed to higher overall water use, with losses in 2023/24 equating to 49 per cent of total water produced.

The existing reticulation system was constructed in 1968 and is predominantly made up of asbestos cement pipework. Operational records show recurring main breaks, with 43 recorded failures over the past four financial years.

The works will involve constructing new PVC water mains to replace the original asbestos cement mains. The project will also improve water circulation, flow and water quality throughout the village.

Mayor of Inverell Shire, Cr Kate Dight, said the renewal would deliver important long-term benefits for the Yetman community.

“This project is a practical and necessary investment in the reliability of Yetman’s water supply. By replacing ageing mains, Council can reduce water losses, minimise future service interruptions and improve the overall performance of the network for residents and businesses.”

The project is estimated to cost $485,853 and will be funded from Council’s Water Fund reserves. Works will be delivered in-house and are expected to take approximately 10 weeks, weather permitting. Council will notify residents and affected property owners prior to any planned water supply interruptions during the connection of individual services to the new mains.

Inverell Shire Council has adopted its 2026–2027 Bitumen Resurfacing Program, outlining the sealed road resurfacing works proposed to be undertaken across urban streets, village streets, rural roads, regional roads and state roads during the financial year.

The program is scheduled to commence later this year, with total funding allocations of $2.016 million and an estimated program cost of $1.849 million. The adopted program will also be placed on Council’s website for the information of the community.

Funding for the program will be drawn from a range of sources, including the Australian Government’s Roads to Recovery Program, Council allocations, Federal Road Grant funding, the Regional Roads Block Grant and Transport for NSW ordered works.

Council will continue to monitor bitumen prices throughout the delivery of the program to ensure the works remain feasible. A budget buffer has been included to help accommodate potential price increases, with scope able to be adjusted if required to remain within available funding.

Mayor of Inverell Shire, Cr Kate Dight, said the annual resurfacing program was an important investment in the safety, reliability and long-term condition of the local road network.

“Maintaining our sealed road network is one of Council’s core responsibilities, and this program ensures resurfacing works are prioritised where they are most needed,” Cr Dight said.

The program has been developed using Council’s asset management system, which considers technical condition data such as cracking, roughness, rutting, edge break and local surface defects. Council staff also undertake ongoing inspections to confirm road conditions and inform annual capital and maintenance works programs.

Inverell Shire Council has received a report on maintenance grading works completed across the Shire’s unsealed road network during the 2025/2026 financial year.

Council allocated $1,793,418 for maintenance grading in the 2025/2026 budget, with the program supplemented by a further $353,815 through the Regional Emergency Roads Repair Fund. The total cost of the program was $2,147,233.

During the year, Council’s maintenance crews completed 1,092 kilometres of maintenance grading, helping to maintain ride quality, improve road condition and support the longevity of the unsealed road network.

Mayor of Inverell Shire, Cr Kate Dight, said Council’s maintenance grading program remained an important part of managing the Shire’s extensive unsealed road network.

“Maintenance grading is essential to keeping unsealed roads safe and serviceable, particularly across a large rural road network. Council’s crews continue to deliver cost-effective grading works for the benefit of all our shire residents.”

The average cost for the 2025/2026 program was $1,967 per kilometre, representing an 11.08 per cent decrease compared with the previous financial year. Council noted that costs continue to be influenced by inflation, fuel and machinery expenses, mobilisation requirements, weather conditions and evolving maintenance practices.

Council will continue to monitor grading costs and service delivery to ensure the most cost-effective maintenance approach is provided for the unsealed road network.

Inverell Shire Council has welcomed the Federal Government’s announcement of a Federation Compact with Local Government, recognising the significant financial sustainability challenges facing councils and committing to meaningful, ongoing increases in Financial Assistance Grants.

At its Ordinary Meeting on 26 August 2026, Council resolved to write to the Prime Minister and Federal Local Government Minister Catherine King, welcoming the commitment and urging the Federal Government to work with the local government sector to urgently progress the Compact.

The Federation Compact includes commitments to increase Financial Assistance Grants over time, provide greater flexibility in Roads to Recovery funding, support apprenticeships and local government employment programs, improve capabilities in housing, planning, emergency management and aged care, and publish an annual summary of Local Government funding.

Mayor of Inverell Shire, Cr Kate Dight, said the announcement was an important step toward addressing the long-term funding pressures experienced by councils across NSW, particularly in rural and regional communities.

“For regional councils like Inverell Shire, financial sustainability is a very real challenge. Our communities expect and deserve safe roads, reliable services and well-maintained public assets, but the cost of delivering those services continues to rise. Council welcomes the Federal Government’s recognition of these pressures and encourages continued collaboration with the local government sector to ensure the Compact delivers practical, long-term support.”

Council noted that any increase in Financial Assistance Grants should be delivered in real terms and should not be offset by reductions in other important funding programs such as Roads to Recovery or disaster recovery arrangements.

Council will continue to support coordinated advocacy through Local Government NSW and the broader local government sector to secure sustainable funding outcomes that benefit all councils and communities.

Inverell Shire Council has received a report on the outcomes of its 2024/2025 Heavy Patching Program, which delivered pavement repairs across priority sections of the local and regional road network.

The program was endorsed by Council in March 2025 and focused on addressing significant pavement failures, improving road safety, strengthening road surfaces and preparing sections for future resealing works.

Heavy patching involves milling the existing road pavement, strengthening the pavement with stabilising additives and/or additional material, and reshaping the road surface to improve ride quality and extend the life of the asset.

Mayor of Inverell Shire, Cr Kate Dight, said “Council’s road network is one of our most important community assets and heavy patching is an important part of addressing priority pavement failures and improving safety for road users.”

Works were undertaken on road segments including Warialda Road, Bonshaw Road, Bruxner Way, Old Texas Road, Copeton Dam Road, Kings Plains Road, Old Stannifer Road, Bundarra Road, Guyra Road, Ashford Road, Yetman Road and Bingara Road.

The program delivered 50,862.9 square metres of heavy patching, exceeding the originally estimated area of 48,263.7 square metres. The total cost was $1,753,542, representing a minor shortfall of $8,230 to be covered through operational savings across Council’s capital works program.

Across the program, Council achieved a unit rate of $34.48 per square metre, significantly lower than rates previously paid to external contractors for similar works. Council will continue to monitor these costs to ensure best value for money in future road maintenance and renewal programs.

NIAS is offering Athletics as a program for the first time in some years. They will be working closely with the North Coast Academy of Sport (NCAS) to structure the program, which will create great value for Northern Inland athletes.

The program has been designed to deliver three intensive two-day weekend workshops. This format will provide athletes with concentrated learning opportunities, increased access to specialist coaching, and help reduce the ongoing travel demands placed on athletes and families throughout the season.

The involvement of athletes and coaches from NCAS, and potentially the Western Region Academy of Sport (WRAS), will broaden the range of coaching expertise and create a stronger regional performance environment.

The NIAS Athletics Program is designed to enhance and complement the coaching athletes are already receiving through their local coaches and clubs.

The program will support athletes aged 13–19 years across track and field disciplines, including both able-bodied athletes and para-athletes. The focus will be on technical event development, physical preparation, strength and conditioning, nutrition and sports psychology education, athlete wellbeing and long-term pathway progression.
