At the Ordinary Council Meeting held on 26 May 2021, Council resolved to place the Water Supply Policy on public exhibition commencing Friday 28 May 2021 and ending on Monday 28 June 2021.

This policy outlines the Council’s responsibilities for management of town water supply in a safe and secure manner.

The revised policy reflects the integration of Guyra and Armidale town water supply operations. The focus of the policy is adherence to NSW Government Public Health regulations and Australian Drinking Water Guidelines. Provision of safe and secure potable water is one of Council’s primary responsibilities. This service requires a high level of regulatory accountability from staff and elected Councillors; skilled and qualified staff; adequate operational resources and capacity to equitably fund, plan and deliver fit for the future water infrastructure.

Submissions are invited and must be addressed to the General Manager, Armidale Regional Council, PO Box 75A, Armidale NSW 2350 or sent by email to council@armidale.nsw.gov.au

Submissions must be received by Council no later than 10pm on Monday 28 June 2021.


Please be aware that if you make a submission, other people may have access to your comments. This may be as a result of a report to a Council meeting or as part of an application under the Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009. Also, under State legislation, any person making a submission on a Draft LEP amendment must also disclose whether they or an ‘associate’ have made a ‘reportable political donation’ or gift to a local Councillor or Council employee within the period commencing two years before any submission is made and ending when the Draft LEP is determined. Further details including disclosure forms are available on request from Council.
