Have your say on the new Crago Mill Precinct in Yass

Members of the public are invited to have their say on plans for the new Crago Mill Precinct in Yass.

The project involves the enhancement and conversion of the former Crago’s flour mill at 209 Comur Street, Yass, which was a major producer of bran, flour and breakfast cereals in the late 1800s and early 1900s.

The development application (DA) for the proposed precinct went on public exhibition on Monday, 31 January and the community can provide submissions until 5:00 pm on Monday, 28 February 2022.
