The Service NSW Mobile Service Centre will be in Canowindra on 17th July.

Service NSW Mobile Service Centre: The Service NSW Mobile Service Centre returns to Canowindra on Wednesday, 17th July, 9am – 3pm at Memorial Park, Gaskill Street. They will be offering a broad range of services including: Driver licence, pho­to card applications and renewals, Driver Knowledge Tests Working With Children Check applications, Hazard Perception Tests and applications for birth, death and marriage certificates. For further informa­tion visit www.service.nsw.gov.au/msc.

Funding For Community Projects Im­proving Mental Health: Applications have opened for Australia Post’s 2024 Community Grants program, which funds community-led, local projects across Aus­tralia.  Eligible not-for-profit groups can ap­ply for grants of up to $10,000 to support projects which have the primary purpose of improving mental health and wellbeing in local communities. To check eligibility, visit: www.auspost.com.au. Applications close 1st July 2024.

NSW Health: People aged 65 and over are again being urged to book in now for their free flu vaccine, as the virus continues to surge across the state. With influenza, COVID-19 and RSV all circulating in the community, people are reminded to avoid visiting high-risk settings including hospi­tals and aged care facilities if they are ex­periencing symptoms of respiratory illness.

The influenza vaccine is free and readily available for those at higher risk of severe illness from influenza.

Andrew Gee Statement On Draft Nsw Redistribution: I’m pleased that the Aus­tralian Electoral Commission (AEC) has decided not to move the electoral bound­aries of Calare. I made two submissions putting forward that there should be no change to the boundaries. To me, it did not make sense to change Calare’s boundaries when it is one of the few electorates in New South Wales that meets the AEC’s voter enrolment quotas. It shows our communi­ties are thriving and that there are strong communities of interest between them.

Congratulations To CHS Cross Coun­try Stars: Well done to the CHS students who represented Canowindra at the West­ern Area cross country last Wednesday.

Students Doug Monk, Lawson Hithcock Georgia Parker, Pippa Hatton, Seth Middis, Dontae Sandry, Eloise Newell, Darius Car­penter, Harry Duguid and Lillian Harrison competed under tough conditions. Con­gratulations to Doug, Eloise, Harry and Lil­lian who all finished in the top five for their age group and have qualified for the state championships next term.
