"Funds will be reinvested into more family-friendly activities including the new Festival Fringe running every night at the bottom of Fitzroy Plaza, and we will continue to support the funding of drought and fire-related charities and events.
"We take this opportunity to say a big thank you to the NSW RFS alongside other agencies for their hard work to keep us all safe.
"We also would like to remind visitors that though the #TamworthNSW region is largely unaffected by bushfires, we encourage you to consult both the Live Traffic and Fires Near Me apps for the most up-to-date information throughout your journey."
