The Bega Valley Shire Council welcomed the NSW government's investment in a new police station in Bega. The council had previously been approached by NSW Police regarding an unpaid bill totaling $1,094,185.50 for the use of public land during the construction period of the station. After a review, the council determined that an error in the original calculations had been made, and the fee should have been $368,355.50. The council stated that the matter was now resolved.
