The documents – which were requested under Government Information Public Access laws – were released only days before a community information session on Sunday, July 30 at 2pm in the Wyndham Hall.
All BVSC councillors have been invited to the meeting, which action group spokeswoman Colleen Stewart said had been called to “inform people of the events leading up to where we are at the moment and update them on plans to get the [bridge’s] trusses reinstated”.
The 120-year-old trusses were removed during work in 2014 and are being stored in a council paddock in Bega.
Progress association spokesman Bob Hunt said a 2009 heritage assessment rated the bridge’s significance as “exceptional” but it appeared that this was cut from information given to councillors before they considered its fate at a council meeting in November 2016.
