RAA Central West Event

Siting

Not all plans come to pass and the current weather situation in the Central West with ongoing bushfires between Dubbo and Mudgee coupled with another expected heatwave has necessitated some program updates as some of our planned speakers work in the land management area. Morning and afternoon program blocks have been switched and we have secured Casey Proctor from Local Land Services Central Tablelands to speak to us about their work and the environmental impacts of recent flooding.
