Residents to have a say

Bensville residents will have a second opportunity to provide input into the development of their area at a community meeting on October 19 at Ozanam Recreation Area, Kincumber South.

The meeting will run from 7pm to 8.30pm.

Sixty-five Bensville residents attended an earlier meeting in June to put forward their ideas on how best to develop open space and community facilities in their area, according to a council report.

During the second meeting, council will provide feedback on issues raised at the first meeting.

"The number of locals attending the first meeting showed just how closely linked they are to Bensville and its development," said Council's Coordinator of Parks and Waterways Ms Kylie Yeend.

"We're looking forward to another big turnout for the coming meeting and to receiving more valuable community input on how best to develop the area."
