Greater Taree City Council
Greater Taree City Mayor, Paul Hogan said that Council is thrilled to be working with the Festival organisers to stage this significant cultural celebration that will showcase Aboriginal culture, skills, lifestyle and culinary talents to a wide audience.
“Council is working in close partnership with the Alliance to provide all of the necessary logistical resources to hold this event. This Festival will provide an important focus on the Aboriginal cultural experience and will provide a range of positive, healthy, family-friendly activities for our community and the wider Mid North Coast community to enjoy on Australia Day. We are expecting a large number of Aboriginal groups from right up and down the Mid North Coast to be travelling to Taree for this Festival and what a great opportunity this is to pass on traditional Aboriginal cultural knowledge to our region’s youth.”
