The delay comes after Tuesday’s economic development and tourism advisory committee meeting, where members voted to postpone the formation of an Image Strategy Working Party, a decision council’s manager of economic development and administration Ken Wheeldon said was due to pressure to include the wider public.

“Some of the committee members – particularly the Marulan Business and Tourism Association (MBTA) and to a lesser extent, Urs Walterlin - kind of felt whilst the intent’s very good with the working party, before they do that they’d like to open it up to a bigger audience,” Mr Wheeldon said.

MBTA president David Humphreys said the delay was a positive step which would give Goulburn Mulwaree’s community a chance to take part in the image strategy.
