Nationals Member for Myall Lakes, Tanya Thompson, has announced with regret that the rescheduled Seniors Concerts, planned for August 2025, will not go ahead due to a lack of available funding support from the NSW Labor Government.
The concerts, initially postponed from March due to bad weather, were intended to provide a joyful and engaging day out for local seniors.
“This is really disappointing news, especially for our seniors who were so looking forward to these events,” Mrs Thompson said.
“I sought funding support from the government to help deliver the concerts, but unfortunately that support has not been made available.”
Mrs Thompson said it’s disheartening to see a long-running, regional community event cancelled.
“Our seniors play such an important role in our communities, and they deserve to be celebrated.”
Mrs Thompson confirmed that planning is underway to bring the concerts back in March 2026.
“I’m committed to these concerts returning next year, they’re a much-loved tradition and I’ll keep working to make sure they remain part of our local calendar,” she said.
