 The first reference group meeting took place last week with LMCC and WBCG delegates present. The formation of the reference group is one of the final consent conditions to be met prior to commencing work in Bunya Park and will serve as a means to resolve issues and involve the community in construction activities. Local residents will be invited to elect two representatives to attend future reference groups. Warners Bay Landcare were invited to attend but so far have declined.
