Griffith Bush Summit Postponed Until 2022

The organisers of The Daily Telegraph Bush Summit have advised Griffith City Council that the Griffith Summit will not take place this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The event will be rescheduled for 2022, with a date yet to be advised. Council sponsorship will be carried forward to next year, with no additional costs to Council.

Griffith Mayor, Councillor John Dal Broi said it was disappointing that the Bush Summit could not be held here this year.

“We are a growing centre and this was an opportunity to showcase the wonderful place Griffith is to live and work,” Councillor Dal Broi said.

“It is encouraging, however, that there is a commitment to still have the Summit in Griffith next year.

“Unfortunately COVID-19 has caused havoc right across the country again this year and the Bush Summit is just the latest casualty.

“At least we will still have the opportunity to share with our political leaders exactly what issues we are facing and to showcase to a wide audience how great our City is.”

This year’s Bush Summit will now be hosted online in October and, while the virtual version will not highlight Griffith, it will still focus on the issues facing regional New South Wales.
