Cr Abbey, chair of the CBRJO, said the general outcome was well received, saying “the ministers were positive about our joint organisation”. Issues discussed included infrastructure, transport, water and sewage, tourism, sporting, education and health.
She said projects such as the Barton Highway duplication, Goulburn’s Performing Arts Centre and Bega Valley’s East West Link were discussed as top priorities. The CBRJO is a unique setup because they also look at cross-border issues as well. Include are Hilltops, Eurobodalla, Goulburn, Upper Lachlan, Yass, Bega, Queanbeyan and Snowy Monaro councils.
