25.01.2022 New aviation businesses will be able to be established at the Temora Airport thanks to NSW Government funding, generating local economic opportunities and supporting the creation of new jobs. Member for Cootamundra Steph Cooke and Deputy Premier John Barilaro announced a $10.1 million Growing Local Economies grant to deliver the upgrades needed to expand the airport’s footprint. Ms Cooke said the project will deliver up to 20 additional airpark lots, new taxiways and roadways... as well as the power, telecommunications, gas, water, sewer and stormwater connections that new businesses need. This is a great investment in the Temora community and will create new opportunities for smaller aviation businesses to establish themselves at Temora Airport and attract further investment in the region, Ms Cooke said. There is so much to see and do in Temora, and these upgrades will help boost visitor numbers, which is more important than ever before given the impact that COVID-19 has had on tourism right across the state.

09.01.2022 As summer approaches rural communities in the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area are being reminded to choose a safe place to beat the heat, and not to take the risk of swimming in irrigation channels. Murrumbidgee Irrigation (MI) Chief Executive Officer, Brett Jones, said with most major channels across the MIA now automated, regulator gates are controlled remotely meaning flows and conditions can change quickly. Regulator gates can open without notice and create a trap, while ...siphons and pipes can create powerful suction or a water surge, Mr Jones said. Also, channel lining projects over the past few years at Warburn, Lake View and Northern Branch Canals, including fencing, have significantly changed channel conditions in these areas. The new High-density polyethylene lined channels are very slippery compared to the old earthen or concrete sections.
