I attended the Hunters Hill Sport and Recreation Advisory Committee last night and I wanted to share an update on the many wonderful Community facilities upgrades now in progress across the Municipality. After a significant period of stagnation, the last two years have seen an amazing revitalization from Council and special thanks are due to Mayor Zac Miles, General Manager Mitchell Murphy and Facilities / Infrastructure Director Samantha Urquart. Thanks also to the hard working Councilors’ and Council staff who have supported the projects through some difficult gestations and now to their happy and imminent arrivals. There will be lots of ribbons to be cut.
