GSC general manager Eric Groth said himself and mayor Jamie Chaffey will attend a community catch-up meeting in Tambar Springs later in March.
“We are looking forward to being part of discussions, and believe this is an opportunity for members of the Tambar Springs community to come together, raise any questions or highlight concerns they may have, as well as offer up solutions to work towards collectively, to ensure Tambar Spring continues to thrive,” Mr Groth said.
