Moree Plains Shire Council has released its second video on the Moree Gateway Project to keep the community informed about the commercial development at the southern entry point to Moree.
Episode two of the Gateway series details Council’s financial commitment to the project, the types of industry attracted to the location and the relationship between the CBD and the Gateway.
Council’s General Manager David Aber said both episodes of the Gateway videos answer a number of questions that members of the public and investors are wanting to know.
“We are using the video series to demonstrate to the public that the Gateway project opens up new opportunities for local businesses wishing to expand, for new businesses to come to Moree and the creation of employment”.
“The Gateway project is one of the largest developments undertaken by the Council and it is important that we continue to inform the community throughout the duration of the Project,” he said.
Moree Plains Shire Council has released its introductory video on the Moree Gateway Project to keep the community informed about the commercial development at the southern entry point to Moree.
In the video, Council’s General Manager David Aber and Projects+Infrastructure Development Manager Grant Hirst answer a number of questions about what the Gateway Project is, who is involved and how the project is expected to generate economic activity and create jobs in Moree Plains.
Mayor Humphries said that “Council is committed to informing the community about the Moree Gateway Project and the video is an additional method we have used to let the public know about this exciting project”.
“The Moree Gateway demonstrates Council’s commitment to support developments that stimulate economic growth, new jobs and ongoing prosperity for our Shire,” said Mayor Humphries.
Road Naming for the Moree Gateway Project
We are seeking public comment on the following road name proposals.
Gateway Development Site
MAP 1 (below) is the Gateway Development site. The road to the south of Blueberry Road highlighted in the colouryellowis the road being suggested to be named “Perry James Drive”. The two roads to the north of Blueberry Road, highlighted in the colours Green and Blue, are currently unnamed and open for name suggestions.
MAP 2 (below) shows the area adjacent to the Kurrajong Industrial Estate. Currently Bulluss Drive commences at the intersection with the Newell Highway and runs east-west, with the realigned section of road coming off from it. This road continues south past the industrial estate until it reaches a corner located behind the property boundary Graincorp. Another road leads off to the south which eventually intersects with Burrington Road.
The following options are being reviewed for the naming of roads:
OPTION A (shown in red on the map above): It is suggested that the name Bulluss Drive be extended to include the road from the intersection of the Newell Highway to the intersection with the currently unnamed road which intersects with Burrington Road.
OPTION B (shown in light blue on the map above): It is suggested that the section of the current Bulluss Drive which extends east from the realignment be advertised to call for expressions of interest for a new name.
OPTION C (shown in dark blue on the map above): It is suggested that the road extending from behind Graincorp to the intersection with Burrington Road be named “Winima Road” to recognise the only property located along that section of road.
Please note that all name suggestions must meet the requirements of the Geographical Names Board’s “Guidelines for Determining Place Names”. A copy of this document may be obtained by contacting Council or via this download
All naming suggestions or comments relating to these proposals are welcome and will be received up until 3.00pm on Friday 5 July 2013.
