Are you coming down to Town Hall on Saturday 12th August to see and be a part of the Big Map? Run by Disaster Relief Australia – the map will be about 10metres x 20 metres and is made up of drone photos ready for you to add information you witnessed during the 2022 floods. The purpose of this big map is to collect factual and visual accounts of the 2022 floods and will lead to better preparation, responses and resources in future emergencies.
Just as this year has sped by, this season’s crops are coming in quickly with this weather, so Forbes Shire Council’s Road Safety officer Mel Suitor will be hosting the Be Road Ready for Harvest Field Days starting at the Central West Livestock Exchange on Thursday 17 August. Satellite events will be held at Bedgerebong on 29 August, Parkes 30 August, Derriwong 31 August and Trundle on 1 September.
Council’s draft Sporting Field Masterplans have been completed and are available on our website for public exhibition until 4 September. Submissions must be in writing, or for any further enquiries please contact Manager of Town Presentation Patrick Woods on 6850 2300.
Finally, it was our absolute delight to host over 100 primary school aged children during our celebrations of Local Government Week this week. Congratulations to all involved it was a fantastic day to help educate our future leaders about what is actually done here by council on a daily basis.
Till next week, God bless and enjoy your weekend.
