Your weekly dose of news from Northern Beaches Council No images? Click here Game on - finally! I can’t wait to see our sports fields back in business this weekend as restrictions ease and our local soccer comps ramp back up. We’ll see more and more codes returning over the next few weeks. Please keep doing your bit and ensure social distancing on the sidelines in particular. We have come so far. The end is in sight. It was great to catch up with the Mayor of our sister city, Gunnedah, last week. The change in the landscape is incredible since I was last there, rain has finally fallen and things are looking more optimistic for our rural communities. If you have a chance, I encourage you to see it for yourself. The recovering drought and fire-affected towns can use your tourism dollars. And it's a great drive, especially from Orange, through Mudgee, to Gunnedah. Of course, if you are staying local, invite your friends to come to us! Many of our local businesses have reopened and will welcome the extra support. And there is so much to do here on the beaches, for free. Have a great weekend everyone.
