Your Council
Liverpool Plains Shire Council The Liverpool Plains Shire Council is a medium sized multi purpose Council which was formed in 2004 including the former Quirindi Shire Council, and portions of the former Murrurundi and Parry Shire Councils. Servicing an area of about 5121 square kilometres, Council's operations are predominantly directed at maintaining and where funding permits, enhancing its rural road infrastructure . The Liverpool Plains is a substantial broadacre farming area providing the economic base for the town of Quirindi and the Shire generally.
In addition to infrastructure, Council is increasingly taking a pro-active stance on land management issues such as total catchment management in order that the Shire's most valuable resource, its productive farming country can be protected for future generations.
Within the town of Quirindi Council has given the development and management of recreation facilities a high priority. The Henry Street Ovals and Golland Fields provide active recreation areas of a high standard which together with a number of parks, provide a high level of amenity to both residents and visitors. Extensive development of Rose Lee Park has been undertaken with the provision of playground and BBQ facilities.
Council is increasingly focusing on youth issues with the establishment of the Quirindi Youth Scholarship Scheme. This Scheme is administered by a Committee comprised of community representatives and aims to provide young people with funding support to pursue educational and training opportunities as well as their interest in art, music, the sciences, sport and the like. Residents and visitors are encouraged to read Council's Annual Management Plan and Annual Report for a more comprehensive overview of Council's activities.
