Message from the Mayor

It was a milestone for the Tamworth Global Gateway Park development to see the Tamworth Intermodal Freight Facility officially opened earlier this month. I was proud to be there with representatives of the facility’s operators, Qube, the NSW Government and Council. Local suppliers, businesses and producers will benefit from the services it will provide and new markets it will help create.
