Winter kicked off for the long weekend bringing in icy conditions, along with isolated rain in heavier patches over our shire which has brought relief for some of our area. Our villages and water catchments weren’t as lucky and are still needing significant downpours to top up the water catchments and provide water to the villages. Our Victorian and South Australian neighbours are still in a terrible condition of drought and, whilst they have received some aid, the government seems to consider foreign aid support to be more significant than our own farmers which is truly terribly disappointing, not only to their current situation and livelihoods but to future generations of farming in our country.
The Honourable Ron Hoenig Local Government Minister and Local MP Roy Butler will be visiting Nyngan on Friday the 20th of June 2025 to meet with myself, councillors, General Manager and senior staff. This will be great opportunity to catch up with the latest happenings for our local government, it is always insightful to hear Roy’s updates on many pressing issues and solutions happening in our area.
Great to see car parking area at the front of mining village and toilet block at Jack Hargraves Park sealing it defiantly makes the area more presentable.
Just a reminder that It is a responsibility of individuals to make sure rubbish loads are covered efficiently. There has been a significant amount of rubbish being lost between town and waste facility which has caused a build-up along the road and Council has had to clean it up, this is totally unacceptable. We ask that you please take more care if delivering rubbish to the waste facility.
Maintenance Grading is continuing around the shire with resheeting of Tubbavilla Rd, resheeting a section of Monkey Bridge Road, grading of Pangee Road, commencement of shoulder grading on the Barrier Hwy, tree trimming on Mitchell Hwy (north) and Barrier Hwy as well as continuation of the construction of a footpath on Moonagee Street.
Council is also working with the Duck Creek Committee to get the racecourse and showgrounds up to speed for the upcoming annual Duck Creek Races next month.

The dry weather is continuing, hopefully soon we can see some much-needed soaking rain . With regional Victoria and SA suffering through drought, the dry conditions are certainly not easing the worry for the Shire’s agriculture production, and is also having a negative effect on a lot of our rural roads. The lack of water and access to water has also caused issues in some areas, for maintenance grading and re-sheeting on gravel roads.
Royal Far West’s annual event ‘Ride for Country Kids’, was in Nyngan on Wednesday 14th May at Davidson Park. The annual cycle is a three-day ride across different locations in NSW to raise vital funds for Royal far West to continue to provide free services to our country kids, for paediatric care involving development, behavioural and mental health with many specialists in one location (Manly which can also be a first-time beach holiday for rural and remote kids) or via telehealth. Without Royal Far West our country kids would slip through the gaps accessing these vital services due to cost, wait times and accessibility. This year celebrated 100 years of Royal Far west and the ride commenced in Bourke which was one of the first innovative travelling and aerial baby clinics for Royal Far West, then it was on to Cobar to the Royal Far West founders home town Reverend Stanly Drummond, followed by Nyngan which we have been lucky to have had their continued support for our Shire kids over the years and then finally they stopped in Narromine which was where RFW started their first telehealth program. Royal Far West has continued to provided access for quality health, education and development to regional and remote kids who are extremely very disadvantage compared to the city’s kids when it comes to health and they believe every child deserves access to these invaluable services, they continue to fundraise to create these opportunities so our kids are not forgotten. Little Wings is another vital charity service that assists organisations like RFW to get children and their families to the vital care, via plane or road so families don’t have to cover cost of travel when they are already stressed with kids in need. If you can afford in anyway to donate towards these fantastic organisations, please do, it certainly won’t go to waste.
The women’s health clinic service will be offering free confidential clinics at the Nyngan Multi Purpose Service on Tuesday 20th May 2025. To make an appointment please call 026351700.
The water tower mural is now complete and is definitely the talking point around Nyngan. It looks fantastic thank you to the artist Scott Nagy and Krimsone for their amazing work. The project was funded through a NSW government grant to beautify and attract more visitors to the region, which it will certainly do for Nyngan.
Over the next fortnight in the Shire, you can expect works continuing on resheeting of Tubbavilla Road, continued resheeting a section of Monkey Bridge Road, continue grading of Pangee Road, commencement grading of Booroomugga Road, continued construction of a footpath on Wambiana Street, funded by Resources for Regions.
