On Wednesday night, Council presented a Council vehicle to Central West Lachlan Landcare. This is a significant contribution to the group and will be very beneficial as they will be able to offer their services on a wider scale. Council is very pleased to have been able to provide this donation.

I was in attendance at the Cuppa with a Copper and it was great to see so many police in attendance. Unfortunately only a few community members attended the event, but those residents who went along enjoyed their time.
On Monday, His Excellency General The Honourable David Hurley AC DSC (Ret’d), Governor of New South Wales and his wife, Mrs Linda Hurley travelled to Forbes to thank volunteers and emergency service personnel who assisted during the recent floods.
He was also able to meet with flood-affected farmers, key agencies involved in the flood operation, students and staff at Bedgerabong School. His Excellency thoroughly enjoyed his time in Forbes and everyone involved really appreciated being able to talk to him about their experiences.
The Somewhere Down the Lachlan Sculpture Forbes $20,000 Acquisition Prize and Open $4000 Prize winners were announced at the official opening last Thursday. It was nice to catch up with the judge Clive Calder from Manly and to see a number of residents and visitors.
If you haven’t had a chance to have a look at the sculptures in Albion Park or around town, they are definitely worth a look. The winner of the Acquisition Prize was The Hunter by Damian Vick and the Open Prize winner was The Mark Maker by Brett Garling.
The Forbes BOSCARS Business Awards Gala Dinner is on tonight. It is a wonderful night to celebrate business excellence in our town and I congratulate the businesses nominated.
Tomorrow is the Teddy Bears Picnic, which is an event Council is supporting for Children’s Week. The event will be held from 9.30am to 1pm at Victoria Park and will be a great day out for the whole family.
