Thank you to everyone who has contributed to the development of the silo art project in our city and all of the 2022 National Reconciliation Week events.
Reconciliation week started in 1993 as a Week of Prayer for Reconciliation being supported by major faith communities in Australia. Reconciliation Australia was established in 2001 to provide national leadership for reconciliation.
Last Friday it was terrific to attend the opening of the Silo Art Project, a walk along Yangga Tyerrang Street (Firebrace Street) to Tyerrang Muwil (Swayer Park) where Indigenous Artist Tanisha Lovett art work was presented.
It was great to see such a large and enthusiastic crowd in attendance, and the projections in the city centre and entertainment at Tyerrang Muwil certainly added to the occasion.
With NRW running until next Monday, there are still events happening in our community under the theme of ‘Be Brave Make Change’.
Through HRCC’s Reconciliation Action Plan, our vision for reconciliation is to create an improved understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and future aspirations through fostering strong and meaningful relationships.
It’s a busy time of year in local government.
Council’s Draft 2022/23 Budget has been developed and features capital works including rural roads, footpaths and cycle ways, parks and open spaces and renewal of plant and equipment.
The community is invited to provide comments prior to the budget being adopted in June 2022.
You may have also seen that Council recently launched the Destination Horsham – Investment Attraction Strategy.
The aim is to highlight the strengths of the region and why our municipality is the place to live, work and invest.
The strategy covers five themes, agriculture, energy and sustainability, commercial and industrial land development, commercial and industrial land development and tourism.
You can take a look at the full strategy online.
