Notice of Public Hearing

At its ordinary meeting on 18 February, 2021 Council resolved to support a Planning Proposal to:

• Reclassify land adjacent to the Snowy River Hostel - 7A Jindalee Street, Berridale (Lot 10 DP

1130244); and

• Reclassify Yallambee Lodge - 1 Binalong Street, Cooma (Lot 10 DP 1266613)
