Housing push asks council to back home building plan

Municipal council discussed a ministerial letter urging councils to cooperate in home construction to ease housing shortages.

The Mayor urged investigation by Works and Finance Committees and noted subsidies would not flow from the Housing Commission. Additional items included a two day local government sports meeting, Mary Vale to Sandy Hollow rail completion, and seeking a municipal engineer.

Mr Robertson proposes eliminating one of two Sydney to Dubbo Sunday trains and moving another to an off night to cover two gaps. The Minister will consult the Commissioner and announce a decision soon.
