PURCHASE OF NORTH MACKSVILLE SOCCER PLAYING FIELDS

Nambucca Valley Council is pleased to announce that after many years of negotiation purchase of the North Macksville Soccer playing fields from Transport for NSW has now been finalised through Transport for NSW’s Community Use Program (CUP).
Mayor Rhonda Hoban OAM said “The sale and transfer of ownership firmly establishes a permanent location for the ongoing development for Macksville Soccer Club at the North Macksville location. The volunteer run Soccer Club is a well-managed sporting group that has for decades provided physical activity and skills, social engagement and fun for generations of local families.
Security of tenure provides the Soccer Club volunteers with the confidence to invest hard-earned fundraising dollars into permanent improvements to the grounds and facilities and the opportunity to apply for Community Infrastructure Development grants.”
The purchase will ensure the grounds and facilities can be maintained and improved to cater for the future growth of soccer in Macksville and the surrounding area.

The significant rainfall experienced during the year to date has impacted Council’s sewerage system in Macksville and caused a number of sewage overflows to the Nambucca River. This has affected the oyster industry and resulted in the EPA issuing Council with a Pollution Reduction Program to take action to reduce the number of overflows in order to maintain river health.

Macksville LED Street Light Project

Work to upgrade 284 streetlights to energy efficient technology will begin this week as part of a major energy efficiency project that will save hundreds of thousands in electricity bills and reduce greenhouse gas emissions for the Nambucca Valley community.
