12.01.2022 Northern Daily Leader - MARCH 20 2020 Water minister Melinda Pavey doesn't rule out passing on the cost of Dungowan Dam project to Tamworth residents THE NSW Water Minister Melinda Pavey hasn't ruled out passing the cost of the Dungowan Dam upgrade on to Tamworth residents....

10.01.2022 Northern Daily Leader MARCH 20 2020 Tamworth coronavirus: Mayor Col Murray and deputy Phil Betts reduce contact to avoid infection COUNCIL meetings could be halved for the next three months to limit the spread of coronavirus [covid-19]....

03.01.2022 Northern Daily Leader - February 27 2020 Chaffey Dam environmental releases to continue Environmental water releases will continue from Chaffey Dam despite there being enough flows in the Peel River for licensed water holders to pump....
