Extended Call for Rural Roads Advisory Committee

On display until 13 June 2025, 05:00 PM

Upper Hunter Shire Council is seeking expressions of interest from community members residing in Aberdeen, Scone, or Murrurundi to fill two vacant positions on the Rural Roads Advisory Committee.

The Rural Roads Advisory Committee plays an important role in monitoring the effectiveness of Council’s Road Maintenance Program and providing advice on how it can be improved — both operationally and strategically.

This is your opportunity to represent your community and provide meaningful input into how Council maintains and manages our rural road network.

About the Committee
The Rural Roads Advisory Committee is made up of:

Two (2) Councillors plus one alternate
Up to eight (8) community members, with representation from Aberdeen, Scone, Murrurundi, Merriwa and Cassilis
The committee meets every six months, or as determined by the Chair, and reports directly to Council’s Infrastructure Services Committee.

Discussions within the committee focus on broader road maintenance policies and processes — it is not a forum for individual road complaints or CRM matters.
