Parkes Shire Council: While the full details are still to come, we’re hopeful the NSW Budget announcement of $27 million for the repair and restoration of water and sewer infrastructure in the Central West damaged by the 2022 severe weather and flooding may deliver positive outcomes for Parkes Shire. Thank you to Philip Donato MP and everyone who has strongly advocated for flood-impacted communities across our region. We look forward to learning more about what this means for Parkes.

Also special thanks to the business houses, shops and the general community for supporting the luncheon. The raffle was drawn by Sister Kath and won by Wendy Van Der Wel.
