Eurobodalla Shire Council

Our car broke down just out the road and this is our experience..1 The day it happened a local Land Rover owner came out with the relevant diagnostic tool to see if he could help. Lovely guy , offered his place to camp if we needed it2. The next day the tow truck driver rearranged his day to get to us early so we weren’t stuck in the lay-by too long3. The charge for the tow of car and 24 ft caravan was more than reasonable4. The mechanic went above and beyond and charged a minimum fee when he found the car was terminal5. The local Ingenia holiday park fitted us in at once and assured us even though it was peak time they would find a place for us for as long as we needed6. We have visited several shops and the local Adelaide Hotel and everyone has been cheerful and obliging.Moruya council you should be proud of your businesses and your residents. This town has turned a disaster on its head and made it into ‘thank goodness it happened here’.

As a business owner, in the shire for fourteen years, I would like to share an experience with others. What I am about to say is in regard to the previous Eurobodalla Shire, and previous Councillors. I am an accommodation provider in Narooma, and our annual water bill for 2014 is estimated at $3,500. In one term of council ( four years) in increased by in excess of 600%. Eight years ago water cost us less than $300.We pay for water coming in and a discharge fee (90% of incoming water) for water going out.This fee was also introduced by previous Council.This charge has a negative impact on the local economies. As businesses have had to make savings in other areas ( like wages) to pay for the water.The charge is unfair, and unjust.What other shires in NSW charge less than $1.00, Eurobodalla Shire charges more the $4.00I ask the current Council to review water charges to local businesses.

Stayed in Narooma caravan park for a week with wife and 5 year old, and was taken by the cleanliness of your little town, also impressed with Bermigui Hat’s off to local people and council workers for keeping your towns tidy. Im talking about litter.Probably helps you don’t have any fast food chains or 7/11s operating in region, which I think is great. Thank you.
