A reminder for all that Sunday is Clean Up Australia Day. Join us at Victoria Park at 9am to help out and then stay to enjoy a FREE bbq. Did you know more than 22 million helpers have pulled on their gloves and donated their time to help out in the past.
Congratulations to the Forbes Business Chamber for its networking night on Monday – several new and existing businesses attended to gain a great insight into radio and print advertising.
It was also a great opportunity to network with other business owners, the Chamber hosts several business network events and regular coffee catch ups for the business community to stay updated and connected.
On Tuesday, Deputy Mayor Chris Roylance, attended the Daroobalgie Road Level crossing. Work has now been completed to install reflective boom gates, high intensity LED flashing lights and bells with new signage and line marking for both road and railway users.
Cr Roylance welcomed this increased safety measure for road users and pedestrians. Inland Rail is a great opportunity for increased freight demands to keep pace with our growing population. It will be an
excellent link for businesses, manufacturers and producers to access markets to buy and sell.
This rail link will generate new opportunities for regional Australia, just as Forbes shire Council has established new industrial opportunities at the strategically placed Central West Industrial Park – readily accessible by road and rail.
Thank you to all our amazing community groups and volunteers who attended our Welcome to Forbes event on Thursday night. What a lovely night for people to meet and find out more about the heart and soul of our amazing community.
We are excited to welcome the Sydney Course Anglers fishing club here on the weekend for their first ever fishing event on Lake Forbes. It is quite an unusual sport with very long fishing poles and no reels.
The Club Members are happy to share their unique knowledge and love of the sport, so they are hosting a free kids workshop on Friday afternoon (behind the primary school) from 4-5pm. No RSVP needed.
Until next week, God Bless,
Phyllis Miller OAM
Forbes Mayor
