We've seen local business working hard to adapt to government measures, whilst endeavouring to support both their workers and customers - whether it's take-away and drive-through pick-up initiatives, online engagement measures or new and improved ways to share helpful information.
In response to announcements from the Federal and State Governments over the past week that a more comprehensive shutdown of services was to be implemented, Tamworth Regional Council launched the Tamworth Region Trading Directory to ensure our residents are up-to-date with the changes to operating hours and capacities of essential services in this ever-changing landscape.

While you're at home over the coming weeks, think about how you can help to support our community and ensure we weather this storm.
