The conference will address the controversy around the proposed raising of the Wyangala Dam wall. The program for the conference is wide-ranging including presentations from engineers, bird and fish ecologists, farmers and graziers from both above the dam wall and the lower end of the Lachlan River, an environmental economist and sociologists, Wiradjuri Elders, an engagement manager from the MDVA and representative from WaterNSW Infrastructure. For more information contact Pennie Scott on 0427 441 107.

2021 HSC Results To Be Delivered Today: Students who sat their HSC last year will be receiving their results earlier than expected, with the NSW Education Standards Authority completing the marking and processing of the 2021 HSC ahead of schedule. Minister for Education Sarah Mitchell said 2021 HSC students would now be able to access their results on Thursday 20 January, rather than 24 January as originally scheduled.

Register Positive COVID Test Results: Anyone who tests positive using a Rapid Antigen Test (RAT) is required to register the result on the Service NSW website or by using the Service NSW app. This will enable NSW Health to provide you with advice on self-isolation and managing COVID-19 symptoms at home, to connect high risk people to clinical care services and to help inform the ongoing public health response. Most people do not need a PCR test to confirm they are positive for COVID-19. For further information visit nsw.gov.au

Yabby Racing Fun At The Services Club: Don’t miss out on this fun Australia Day event from 3pm at the Canowindra Services Club next Wednesday, 26 January. Bring your own yabby or one can be provided. There will also be a free sausage sizzle and jumping castle for the kids.

Yabby Racing will kick off from 3pm at the Canowindra Services Club on Australia Day.
