A positive and constructive meeting between Burren Junction residents, Walgett Shire Councillors and senior Council staff on Wednesday, 14 October has provided renewed encouragement for the community as it works towards improving local infrastructure, facilities and services.
The meeting, organised by Burren Progress Inc., brought together community representatives, Mayor Jason Ramien, Councillors and senior Council staff, including Acting General Manager Donna Ausling.
Before the meeting, Council representatives were taken on a bus tour of Burren Junction to see firsthand some of the infrastructure challenges facing the town, including the Sports Precinct, Bore Baths, airstrip and other community facilities.
Burren Progress Inc. welcomed the opportunity for Council representatives to see the issues for themselves and discuss practical solutions with residents.

Burren Junction Progress Association would like to thank Walgett Shire Council for the installation of three new bus shelters in Burren Junction.
The shelters have now been installed at locations around town, providing welcome shade and weather protection for people waiting for buses and other transport services.
Our Mission
Who are we and what are we doing with the old church? Bloody great question!
Our local Anglican Church is almost 100 years old. It was originally donated to the community and cared for by generations of locals.
Now it’s our turn.
A group of local community members have come together to make sure this beautiful building remains here for generations to come… and we’re opening it to everybody!
We’re raising funds to preserve, restore and maintain the church so it can continue to be a welcoming place for the whole community. A place to gather, celebrate, reflect and connect, whether for worship, community events or life’s milestones.
We believe this building has a future, and we want that future to be one that belongs to all.

Charles and Annette Radford recently celebrated 68 wonderful years of marriage.
The Narrabri couple, formerly of Burren Junction, are popular community members.
They enjoyed the special milestone, receiving a beautiful, big bunch of flowers from family and phone calls from relatives and friends who are scattered across the country.
There was also a lovely celebration at Whiddon’s Jessie Hunt residence, with flowers and, of course, a delicious cake.
When asked the secret to their long and happy life together, Mr and Mrs Radford shared a simple yet meaningful answer: love and respect for each other.
