Council has been selected as a finalist across three categories at 2018 NSW Tourism Awards for excellence in Festival

The winners will be announced at a gala night held at the Big Top, Luna Park Sydney on Thursday, 22nd November.

Business owners and operators are invited to learn how to maximise their digital marketing efforts at a Digital Health Check Workshop on Monday, 22nd October.

Congratulations to those local businesses named as finalists in the 2018 Parkes Business Awards.

The winners will be announced at a Gala Dinner held this evening at the Parkes Services Club.

Residents are invited to celebrate National Bird Week at the official opening of the renewed PAC Park Amenities this Sunday, 21st October. A free community barbeque breakfast will commence from 8am.
