Pre-poll voting for the election is now open in the Council Chambers. Election Day is next Saturday, September 10 and polling places are the Forbes Town Hall, Forbes Tennis Club, Forbes High School and Bedgerabong Public School from 8am to 6pm.
Forbes is one of the LGAs that has received a Natural Disaster Declaration for storms and floods on July 20.
This means we will be able to apply for funding to help repair the roads that were damaged due to the amount of rain we received during that period.
This declaration also means that residents, such as producers, who were affected by the storms and floods can also apply for assistance. Applications are due before February 28, 2017. For more information visit www.raa.nsw.gov.au/
The Forbes Show is on Friday and Saturday next week. Council will have a display stand with a range of information available. Make sure you visit our stand while enjoying the show!
General Manager, Danny Green
