Your Town Your SayRecovery and renewal is well underway in the Upper Murray with 11 Community Recovery Committees driving the recovery journey. The recently-established Corryong CRC has met twice and members want to cast a wider net to gather the ideas and priorities of as many residents as possible. The group plans to start a Facebook page and a newsletter to keep information flowing. In the first instance a survey is being designed to find out more from locals. Surveys will be able to be filled out online or in hard copy and will be available soon. Keep an eye out in the Corryong Courier and other local businesses for more information.Pictured: Corryong CRC communications sub-committee members; Mark Collins, Amanda Meagher, Cathy Ross and Thea Newton.
