NSW Government to partner with Georges River Council to host Good Taste Festival

The NSW Government will partner will Georges River Council to host its ‘Good Taste Festival’ around the upcoming Lunar New Year.

Grant funding of up to $500,000 a year for two years has been awarded to 15 local councils across the state’s Six Cities regions to host major multicultural events and festivals in partnership with the NSW Government.

Minister for Multiculturalism and Member for Oatley, Mark Coure said that $240,000 has been provided to Georges River Council to host its ‘Good Taste Festival’ over the next two years.

“Our local area is a thriving, vibrant, multicultural community and this festival will help bring together our community to share in the many cultures which enrich us greatly.” Mr Coure said.

“The previous Good Taste Festival featured a selection of market stalls, acrobats, children’s activities and Lunar New Year celebrations, and I am sure that next year’s festival will be even bigger and better thanks to this investment by the NSW Government”.

“The NSW Government’s partnership with Georges River Council will take this festival to the next level, helping to boost our local economy and foster a shared sense of cultural connection to one another”.

Georges River Council is one of 15 councils that has received funding from the NSW Government to host its event in 2023 and 2024. All successful councils will partner with the NSW Government and co-fund to host these events.
