  • Hi, I'm enquiring about two (2) electricity poles left lying on the ground beside the Tarraganda Hall at Tarraganda Lane, Tarraganda 2550 near Bega. They have been there a few weeks now and the poles are preventing the full use of the Hall by the community. As Chairperson of the Tarraganda Hall Management Committee, I am seeking clarification about when the poles will be removed. Thank you..

    Robert Kingston asked 3 days ago

    Hi Robert, thank you for the question. These poles were part of a contractor job and we apologies they were left beside the Hall. We will contact the contractor now and have them moved.
