AN interim Section 355 Committee has been formed for Talarm Hall following strong attendance at a pop-in session at the historic community venue on Wednesday 12 November.
Nambucca Valley Mayor Gary Lee attended the session and he congratulated locals for coming together to support their local hall.
“I am pleased 19 people turned up to support their hall,” he said.
“A group within the 19 attendees are going to make a submission to Council to form a committee and many people said they would volunteer to support the delivery of events and programs.
“It was wonderful to hear the community’s views on how they can breathe fresh life into the hall and use it for the benefit of the whole community.
“This is the reason the Nash family donated the land on which the hall stands to Council way back around 1914, so it could be a hub for the community to come together.”
Council has 14 halls managed by Community Management Committees – known as Section 355 committees.
Section 355 in the Local Government Act (1993) that allows Council to delegate some of its functions to a Committee of Council.
