Overview
The Tamworth Regional Council Entrance Strategy has been developed and endorsed by Council to enhance key road entries to Tamworth and surrounding towns and villages.
The goal of this strategy is to:
- celebrate our culture through recognition of the land's Traditional Owners;
- create a strong brand for the region;
- support a positive experience for visitors; and,
- nurture community pride.
With ever-increasing visitor numbers to the region, signage is a crucial part of creating a positive and consistent visitor experience. One key outcome of this strategy, which aligns with Council's Blueprint 100 is to create a sense of arrival at each destination and leave a lasting impression on visitors of which residents can be proud.
The Tamworth Regional Entrance Strategy was on public exhibition during November and December 2022 and adopted by Council in 2023.
