Public Notice & Consultation

Narromine Shire Council welcomes and encourages the community’s feedback on proposed works and services to be carried out across the region. See the current public notices and items seeking Community feedback below.

• Alcohol Free Zones Narromine Wetlands

  Since the implementation of the Alcohol Free Zones in 2008, Narromine Shire Council and NSW Police have seen a reduction in the number of complaints relating to broken bottles and irresponsible behaviour.

  Council resolved to re-establish Alcohol Free Zones in Narromine and Trangie using the 50km speed signs to determine the area within each town, for a period of 4 years effective 23 December 2024 to 22 December 2028 with the Narromine Wetlands to be included in the zone.

  

• Automatic External Defibrillator (AED) Locations

  Automatic External Defibrillator (AED)

  How does a defibrillator work?

  A defibrillator is a device that uses electricity to re-start the heart or shock it back into its correct rhythm. It is used when the heart suddenly stops pumping. The defibrillator analyses the heart rhythm and decides whether an electric shock is needed.

  You don't need training as the device will tell you what to do.

  Where are defibrillators located in our Community?

  Defibrillators are often found in large public places in the community, including workplaces, schools, gyms, major bus stops and shopping centres. They are also located in or on many Council buildings, properties and reserves. Some frequented locations include our community centres, showground/racecourse, pools, customer service offices and libraries.

  Please note these may only be available when the property is in use (various times) and may not be accessible in your time of need. In an emergency, always dial triple zero (000) and ask for an ambulance if someone requires medical attention.

  Being prepared is better than feeling helpless - Minutes matter when sudden cardiac arrest strikes. Having an AED on site means being prepared.

  Some important information to consider: AEDs are easy to use - Verbal and visual prompts provide a step by step guidance, meaning even the untrained can use a defibrillator. These simple but sophisticated devices analyse a person’s heart rhythm and advise if a shock is needed. An AED won’t shock someone if they don’t need it. 

  Anyone can go into cardiac arrest - Not limited to older people, sudden cardiac arrest can strike men, women, and children of any age. It can happen anywhere at anytime. The only definitive treatment is defibrillation.

  An AED 'buys time' until emergency services arrive - In Australia the average time it takes for an ambulance to arrive is 8-12 minutes. That’s a long time to wait when the chance of survival drops by 10% every minute that goes by without CPR and defibrillation. 

  Being prepared is better than feeling helpless - Minutes matter when sudden cardiac arrest strikes. Having an AED on site means being prepared.

• Bush Fire Prone Land Map

  The NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS) Commissioner certified a new Bush Fire Prone Land Map for Narromine Shire Local Government Area on 7 March 2025.

  The updated mapping data is now available on the Bush Fire Prone Land tool on the NSW RFS website.

  As part of the latest update, Vegetation Category 3 grasslands, which cover approximately 80% of NSW, have been included.

  Bush Fire Prone Land Mapping plays a crucial role in development control, ensuring that potential bush fire risks are properly assessed.

  Any new development, alterations, or additions requiring a development application must comply with the NSW RFS Planning for Bush Fire Protection (PBP) requirements.

  For more information, visit the NSW RFS website

  Check if you're in bush fire prone land - NSW Rural Fire Service

  Is My Property Mapped as Bush Fire Prone Land?

  There are a few ways to find out if your property is identified as BFPL: 

  1  By using the NSW RFS Bush Fire Prone Land Mapping Tool on the NSW RFS website, check if you're in bush fire prone land - NSW Rural Fire Service.

  2  By accessing it through the NSW ePlanning Spatial Viewer. You will need to turn on the Bush Fire Prone Land layer under the ‘Hazard’ heading; or

  3  By applying for a Section 10.7 Planning Certificate from Council. The planning certificate will include a statement advising that the land, or part of the land, is bush fire prone, or that the land is not bush fire prone.

• Northern Drainage Stormwater Pipe

  Narromine Shire Council advises that construction works have begun along Meryula and Burraway Streets, Narromine, to enhance the stormwater pipeline system.

  These essential upgrades aim to improve drainage and reduce the risk of flooding during heavy rain.

  Currently, work is taking place in the Rotary Park area and will soon move to the northern end of Meryula Street.

  While Rotary Park and roadways remain accessible, some areas are fenced off for safety.

  Intermittent road closures will occur during construction, with detours and traffic management measures in place. The project is expected to continue for the next six months. Residents are advised to take note of traffic changes and exercise caution when travelling through the area.

  For more information, please contact Narromine Shire Council via email at mail@narromine.nsw.gov.au or call 6889 9999.

• Open Burning/Incinerators

  Narromine Shire Council wishes to advise that under Schedule 8 of the Protection of the Environment Operations (Clean Air) Regulation 2010 that all burning of any materialis prohibited within the Narromine Shire except with approval.
  

  Please note;

  • this is not applicable to any burning off as a result of an agriculture activity. E.g. burning off of stubble, etc.
  • that failure to obtain a permit and/or comply with the requirements with the permit may result in an on-the-spot penalty notice of $550 being issued.
  • should the Fire Authorities deem that the open burning, including Bonfires, is a risk to the property or public safety then the fire maybe extinguished.
  • that under the Protection of the Environment Operations (Clean Air) Regulation 2010, a person who burns anything by open fire or in an incinerator must do so by such practicable means as are necessary to prevent or minimise air pollution.

  Considering the potential impact on not only the amenity of the immediate neighbours, the community as a whole and on the environment, it should be noted that Council is unlikely to approve any application to allow for an open burning (burning off) to occur particularly within the boundaries of the towns or villages within the Narromine Shire.

  All enquires in regard burning off in town and/or village areas should be directed to Council’s Community and Regulatory Services on 6889 9999. All enquiries in regard to areas outside the township & village areas (rural) should be directed to the Orana Office of NSW Rural Fire Services on 6881 3900.

• Selling or giving away a cat or dog - The rules have changed

  You play a critical role in providing for the welfare of cats and dogs that you sell or rehome. This information will help you to meet your responsibilities.

  As of 1 July 2019, people advertising kittens, cats, puppies or dogs for sale or to give away in NSW need to include an identification number in advertisements. The identification number can be either:

  • a microchip number, OR
  • a breeder identification number, OR
  • a rehoming organisation number.

  The advertising requirement applies to all advertisements, including those in newspapers, local posters, community notice boards and all forms of online advertising, including public advertisements on websites such as the Trading Post, Gumtree and social media sites.

  The changes help people looking to buy a cat or dog search the NSW Pet Registry to see the animals:

  • breed
  • sex
  • age
  • whether it is desexed
  • Whether or not it is already registered.

  A breeder identification number search will also display any business name listed in the registry.

  This enables buyers to do further research and make informed purchasing decisions. It also helps to promote responsible cat and dog breeding and selling and, over time, enable enforcement agencies to use this information to identify ‘problem’ breeders to enforce animal welfare laws.
