Kempsey Shire Council has received a critical boost to help in the bushfire recovery thanks to Stage Two of the Bushfire Local Economic Recovery Fund, co-funded by the Australian and NSW Governments.
Member for Oxley, Melinda Pavey, said $6.3 million was allocated to the Kempsey Saleyards and a further $724,000 help tackle the Tropical Soda Apple.
“An infrastructure upgrade at Kempsey Regional Saleyards will provide an enhanced facility for local cattle vendors and buyers and ensure we have a competitive regional saleyard for the Mid North Coast,” Ms Pavey said.
“In addition, Tropical Soda Apple has significantly increased throughout the Valley since the devastating 2019 bush fires. A comprehensive control program will assist landholders to eliminate infestations, protect the natural water courses and prevent further spread to private and public lands.”

Kempsey Shire Council’s innovative water sustainability program continues to pave the way for students across the Macleay Valley to receive a practical education on the importance of water conservation and preservation.
Over 15 schools in the Shire have joined Council’s Waterwise Schools Program which encourages students to use water responsibly and sustainably.
Students at Kempsey Adventist School were recently presented with the very first Waterwise Trophy for completing their refresher course delivered in partnership with Council by educators from the Cascade Environmental Education Centre. It highlights information on local catchments, water use, water conservation and human impacts on waterways.
