Three events boosted by Moree Plains Shire fund

Moree Plains Shire Council has announced the three local events receiving a boost from its Event Partnership Fund for the 2024-25 financial year with $20,000 awarded to bring some amazing experiences to the Moree Plains.

Australian Custom Harvesters (Harvestfest), Moree on a Plate and Tarrawingee Farm (Un Verre Au Coin Du Feu Long Lunch) have shared in $20,000.

Harvestfest 2025 is a two-day industry event hosted by Australian Custom Harvesters at the Moree Showgrounds.

Moree on a Plate 2026 is a food, wine and arts festival featuring over 50 producers from across the region and beyond.

Un Verre au Coin du Feu is a long lunch-style event. Hosted at Tarrawingee Farm, the event is designed to showcase the best of Moree and the opportunities the region has to offer.

Past events to benefit from the fund include Pally Bush Mega Markets, Run the Plains and Moree Muso’s Night.

Mayor Susannah Pearse said the Event Partnership Fund supports new and growing events that invite visitors to the shire and spark positive economic activity.

“It’s inspiring to see the passion and dedication of our event organisers and committees who make Moree Plains a wonderful place to live, visit, and play,” Cr Pearse said.

The Event Partnership Fund is designed to provide partnership funding of up to $10,000 to support a range of local events. These events have the primary aim of enhancing the amenity,
wellbeing and economic vibrancy of the Moree Plains Shire.

Council has thanked all the individuals and organisations who applied for the program and encourages event organisers with an idea to bring something new to the shire or expand an existing event to apply in the 2025-26 financial year.
