Thumbs up to residents in Armidale Regional Council area who have taken time to read documents about the Special Rate Variation(SRV) proposal. They are very complex, detailed and you may have felt that there is an information overload. One aspect I looked at carefully is the section on Connectivity which is one of the six pillars related to the future vision. There is a strategy to seek funding in the next financial year for the Rail Trail from Armidale to Ben Lomond and to construct it in the years 2025/26 and 2026/ 2027. You will get an opportunity send submissions to IPART about the 50% Special Rate Variation (SRV) bring requested by the council in February 2023. Watch the proceedings of the next Armidale Regional Council meeting for more details and the final decision to proceed with SRV request or not.
