The first business meeting of the newly elected Council took place on 18 February 1860 and was held in the Court House. Crown Solicitor, George Colquhoun, was appointed Council Clerk and Messer’s James Dalton and Patrick Kenna were appointed as auditors. The real work of the Council began in April 1860 when it was decided to call tenders for clearing Lords Place from Summer Street to Byng Street and making a road 12 yards wide by filling holes with stone and gravel.

By July of 1860 a correspondent to the Bathurst Free Press was able to describe how a dray could now pass through the municipality without being stuck in the mud or upset – ‘that is, if the team is strong’.
