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

• Reporting of parking fines issued within Narromine Shire Council Local Government Area

  In accordance with the Fines Amendment (Parking Fines) Act 2024 and the Fines Amendment (Parking Fines) Regulation 2025, Narromine Shire Council is required to report on parking fines issued each quarter.

  Background on Legislative Changes

  The NSW Government’s reforms to the parking fine system, which came into effect on 1 July 2025, require councils to:

  • Attach a parking fine or notification to the vehicle (except in limited circumstances)
  • Provide photographic evidence of the offence to Revenue NSW
  • Issue fines within seven days of the offence if no notification was attached
  • Publicly report data on parking fines issued.

  These changes aim to restore fairness and transparency to the parking fine system across NSW.

  Narromine Shire Council will continue to monitor the implementation of these reforms and provide quarterly updates as required.

  For more information on the Fines Amendment (Parking Fines) Act and Regulation, visit the NSW Legislation website.
