Tamworth Business Chamber State of the City leaders forum hosts mayor Russell Webb and council's executive leadership team centre stage

Tamworth Business Chamber hosts the forum, that will see an all-new mayor and council executive team converge to talk about the big issues, investments and growth expected in the city.

The region's water security and bourgeoning renewable energy market are expected to ruffle some feathers at the event, chamber president Stephanie Cameron said.

"There's no doubt there will be a bit of contention about what strategies are planned for the water security across the region and the amount of renewable energy going up around the region as a renewable energy precinct," she said.

"I think there are some parts of the community that will be quite vocal and hesitant about 'not in my backyard'."
