@ the Art Gallery

West of Central - 1 July to 27 August

Home to an increasing cohort of contemporary artists and creatives seeking connection, respite, and balance, regional Australia is a place where artists have space to create,

experiment, respond and challenge.

This exhibition showcases the work of 16 regionally based artists who choose to make work on Wiradjuri Country in the Central Tablelands of NSW. Of primary concern is the impact of man-made and climactic events on the ecologies and landscape of the region.

Annual permit for cats which are not desexed

From July 2020 the NSW Government introduced annual permits for cats which are not desexed. This annual permit is a fee in addition to the one-off lifetime registration fee. The annual permits are an incentive for pet owners to desex their pets at a young age and avoid unwanted litters and anti-social behaviours. There are also late fees for owners who do not pay their annual permit in a timely manner. Council will assist pet owners by sending text message reminders regarding registration and permits. For further information on annual permits and pet registration, visit www.petregistry.nsw.gov.au
