Mayor's Message - 31 July 2020

Published on 31 July 2020

We are pleased to hear the National Australia Bank (NAB) will re-open its Uralla branch on Monday, 17 August 2020.

Uralla Shire Council proactively wrote to the National Australia Bank to raise concerns about the continued closure of its Uralla branch as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and seek their commitment to a re-opening date.   Concurrently, we liaised with both the State and Federal Member for Parliament to enable them to also advocate for our community. 

The ability of our community to access face-to face services is vital for the local economy.

We would like to thank Northern Tablelands MP Mr Adam Marshall for raising our concerns on behalf of our community to the State Parliament yesterday and helping us to achieve this fantastic result.

Our close working relationship with Mr Marshall as our local member continues to be highly appreciated by Uralla Shire Council and the community as a whole.

We’d also like to thank the NAB for listening to our concerns and for the resumption of their highly valued local service for our businesses and community. 

Mayor, Cr Michael Pearce
