The focus of the morning was the proposal for a Country University Centres campus in Goulburn, and the potential for partnership with the University of Canberra.
I am a member of the steering committee for a Country University Centre in Goulburn, and we are well underway with our proposal. We have met with the directors of Country University Centres, and we are confident that we can put a strong proposal together for Goulburn to sit within their structures. We are now working on incorporating our group, and forming a Board of Directors. In the coming month we hope to announce the venue for the centre, and begin to put in place the marketing and branding foundations for 2018 – watch this space!
I believe we can achieve a great outcome for the region that will allow young and old to undertake higher education in Goulburn.
PAC meeting
Tonight at 6pm in the Council Chambers we are holding the public meeting for the proposed Performing Arts Centre in the McDermott Centre.
We will be providing a general update on the project and where we are at in terms of timelines and budgets.
The meeting is an open forum, and we want to hear the community’s thoughts on this project – whether for or against. It is a chance for you to voice your opinion. Please come along!
Special Olympics Swimming
In a great coup for Goulburn Mulwaree we have been successful in a bid for the 2017 Special Olympics City v Country Swimming event. The event will be held on December 10 at the Goulburn Aquatic and Leisure Centre, with up to 100 competitors.
It will give prospective local athletes an opportunity to participate, and hopefully develop a long-term positive relationship with sport.
