Vision 2020 is a community focus and action group. It is a little bit like a Chamber of Commerce. A little bit like a Progress Association. A little bit like a lobby group and a little bit like a think tank. Its simple theme is REGENERATION – taking the best of the past and blending it with the best of the new. It has broad interests – Agriculture, Commerce, Tourism, Education, Health, and Environment. It aims high, but keeps its feet on the ground and views all things with 20/20 vision. Anyone can be a member. It is open to thinkers, doers, helpers, supporters, even critics, and it is set on achieving the best possible results in every project it undertakes. It is intent on giving assistance and guidance, encouraging Bingara and District to survive and thrive as it progresses towards the year 2020.

Industrial Land
In 2013, Regional Development Australia – Northern Inland conducted a survey of councils in the region to provide an overview of the industrial land situation for potential investors. A summary of this information is provided in the following table and charts. Price information was derived from recent sales provided by a local property valuer.
Detailed data for each of the council areas who have supplied data on Industrial Land in a spreadsheet is available here.
