Macleay Landcare and Kempsey Shire Council are running a half day field day looking at common weeds and control methods available to local landholders in the Upper Macleay area. The field day will cover:
• Common weeds in the Upper Macleay including woody, pasture and aquatic weeds
• Recommended control methods
• Maintenance and follow-up methods
• Riparian and vine weed control
• Kempsey Shire Council Weed Control Projects
The field day will be held at the Willawarrin Hall on Wednesday 4 November with morning tea and lunch provided. If you are interested in attending please register by calling the Macleay Landcare office on 6562 2076.
Council commenced work on 14 September to construct centre parking in Elbow Street between Kemp Street and Tozer Street, West Kempsey. The work, which is currently proceeding on schedule, will involve construction of pedestrian refuges and a pedestrian crossing.
Alternative parking is available in Edinburgh Lane, which runs parallel behind the Elbow Street shops. Some businesses have rear access to this parking and there is a walkway through from Edinburgh Lane to Elbow Street between the Macleay Community College and the former Meals on Wheels office.
Council has erected signs and other safety barriers to assist with the pedestrian access.
Traffic control will be in operation while the work is in progress so pedestrians and motorists are asked to be cautious when approaching and travelling through this road work.
Council recognises, and apologises for, inconvenience these works will cause but is aiming to have them completed as quickly as possible to minimise the disruption for members of the public and the business community.
Open until 13 November 2009
