Council
2018 AR Bluett Award Recipient
The Narrabri Shire Council was awarded the prestigious AR Bluett Memorial Award in 2018.
The mayor and general manager (CEO) at the time were Cr. Cathy Redding and Stewart Todd respectively.
The AR Bluett Award is awarded to the most progressive council in the state (of NSW) judged by a Trustee panel for the Award. The Award is considered as "The greatest accolade a council can achieve" and "The pinnacle of local government achievement".
