From the Mayor's Desk - August Council News
Throughout August we have seen an excellent community response to the evolving COVID-19 situation in Western NSW. Warren Shire has some of the highest testing rates in NSW and 622 residents attended the combined Australian Defence Force / Western NSW Local Health District COVID-19 vaccination clinic on 23 and 24 August.
I want to thank everyone involved in setting up and supporting the pop-up clinic over the two days.
The high take-up rate is testament to the degree of care that we as individuals have for our families, friends and the whole Warren Shire community. The clinic will return on 13 and 14 September for the second dose vaccinations.
I would also like to acknowledge and thank staff at the Warren MPHS for their continuing work at the COVID-19 testing clinic and those at Rural and Remote Medical Services for the AstraZeneca clinic on Friday 20 August.
It is important we continue to remain vigilant, follow the stay-at-home orders, get tested if you have any symptoms, and if you are eligible, book a date to vaccinate.
Council continues to lobby both the State and Federal Governments for the funding required to repair the Warren town levee after being unsuccessful in the first round of the National Flood Mitigation Infrastructure Program Funding. Council does have a contingency plan in place for emergency repair work that can be enacted quickly should the need arise so that the integrity of the levee is maintained.
