Snowy Monaro community urged to support local businesses
With the advent of another lockdown during the peak winter tourist season, Snowy Monaro Regional Council is calling on all community members to throw their support behind our region’s local businesses.
A large number of the region’s businesses rely on the heavy influx of travellers and tourists every winter, and with the second year of COVID restrictions impacting this key period, it is crucial that the local community comes out in force to help the local business community make it through another tough year.
“Despite our small population and large geographic area, the Snowy Monaro is particularly well-serviced by a wonderfully diverse range of businesses and services,” said Mayor Peter Beer, Snowy Monaro Regional Council.

Council shows commitment to minimising invasive weed threat
Regional Councils in NSW have responsibilities in relation to weeds. These include inspecting lands for high-risk weeds and seeking landowner compliance with the NSW Biosecurity Act.
Councils are also required, as land managers, to control high-risk weeds on lands for which they are responsible.
Snowy Monaro Regional Council engages local contractors to manage weeds on Council land. This helps prevent the establishment of new weeds and protects our region’s valued agricultural and environmental assets.
Vehicles contribute to the spread of weeds and, excluding Crown and private roads, Council is responsible for the management of weeds on roadsides. In the 2021 financial year, Council spent in excess of $750,000 on roadside weed control efforts and $100,000 controlling weeds on community and operational lands. This effort equated to over 6720 hours of on-ground weed control.
