AGM coming up for Guyra ratepayer group

18th Feb 2025

The Save and Grow Guyra Ratepayers Incorporated (SandGRI) will hold their annual general meeting next week.
The meeting comes amid fresh approaches by Snowy Valleys and Cootamundra-Gundagai Regional Councils to push ahead with demerger plans.
It also follows an admission by Premier Chris Minns in State Parliament last week that amalgamations which took place in 2016 were ‘a bloody disgrace’.
The Premiers remarks were in response to a question from Shadow Minister for Local Government Wendy Tuckerman asking the Premier what action the Government is taking to stop “ridiculous rate rises”.
SandGRI has been vocal in the past about their desire to re-establish a Guyra based council and agree with the sentiment expressed by the NSW Premier.
“This could be our greatest chance to convince the Boundaries Commission and the Minister for Local Government that communities would be financially better off operating as separate identities,” SandGRI Chairman Rob Lenehan said.
“This has always been a proven point, supported by world leading economists, auditors, consultants and ratepayers.”
This coming Wednesday February 26th, Save and Grow Guyra Ratepayers Incorporated will hold their Annual General meeting at the Guyra Bowling and Recreation Club. 
The meeting will commence at 6pm.Mr Lenehan said this will be a great opportunity to learn more about the organisation.
