Celebrating the return of local news
Colleen Fuller, Mayor of Gunnedah Shire, writes a column celebrating the return of the Gunnedah Times under new ownership by Times News Group. She announces several local government updates, including changes to the Small Grants Program that combine community, sports, arts, and cultural grants into a single streamlined program, and proposed amendments to water restrictions and the Drought Management Plan. The article also promotes a free art workshop for First Nations women led by Gomeroi artist Hollie Crawford, aimed at creating works for the 2026 NAIDOC Week Art Exhibition, which will open on July 3 at the Gunnedah Bicentennial Creative Arts Gallery.
