Destination Central West NSW: A coordi­nated regional marketing campaign, Other Ways to the West, is now being rolled out to provide clear and consistent messaging to visitors about how to access our region.

This campaign is focused on:

• Reinforcing that the Central West is open for business

• Providing clarity on alternative travel routes

• Supporting operators to maintain book­ings and reduce cancellations

DNCW encourage all operators to down­load the toolkit and align messaging where possible to ensure consistency across the region. For assistance contact info@dncw.com.au

Cabonne Community Assistance Pro­gram (CCAP) Now Open: The Commu­nity Assistance Program (CAP) supports projects that maintain the strength and vibrancy of Cabonne’s towns and villages.

This is a competitive program that pro­vides support for organisations focused on delivering positive benefits to Cabonne residents and contributing to the delivery of Council’s strategic priorities. Each project will be judged on its merits and the relative benefit it will return to the community. Ap­plications are now open and close 1 May at 5pm. For more information and to apply, visit www.cabonne.nsw.gov.au/Funding-Opportunities/Cabonne-Community-Assistance-Program-CCAP

Staying Safe From Scams: Scams are becoming increasingly sophisticated, and older people are often targeted. Know­ing what to look for, and what to do, can make a real difference. Join Council on the Ageing NSW (COTA) for a free community session in Orange on Staying Safe from Scams, where they’ll share practical tips to help older people recognise scams, protect their information and know where to seek help. If you work with older people, sup­port someone in your life, or simply want to learn how to protect yourself, we encour­age you to attend. This free event will be held on 30 April, 10:30am – 12:00pm at the Orange Ex-Services’ Club. Secure you place with free tickets at https://events.hu­manitix.com/staying-safe-from-scams
