2007 Country Week Expo SuccessForbes Shire Council attended the 2007 Country Week Expo which was held at Rosehill Gardens from August 10th to 12th. This exhibition will enabled country and rural areas similar to Forbes to entice residents of the Sydney metropolitan area to relocate to Forbes. This years event proved to be a marvellous success with Council selling two blocks of land in its residential estate and still negotiating on a third with three separate parties. Several major industry and business enquiries are currently being investigated. If any of these come to fruition it could result in a significant employment boost for the community. Forbes Shire received terrific support from the local employment agencies where several skill employment opportunities were on offer. Contacts have been made directly to those agencies to follow up the enquiry. A large proportion of job opportunities were given out for the near by gold mine of Barrick Gold. Other areas that Council recieved enquries included: Registered nurses Solicitors Midwives Diesel mechanics Industry opportunties Engineering Teaching Chiropractic Heavy vehicle
Four of the five local real estate agancies provided Council with matreial that could be used to promote the positive lifestyle on offer in Forbes. From the display these agencies have recieved feedback to follow up on possible sales. At this stage Council will be keen to attend again next year, a lot of work has to be done in the next few weeks but overall the promotion has been hailed a success. Contact details |
