Consultation has concluded.

Council is seeking feedback from the community to help us choose the name for the new residential estate coming soon to Edward Street.

This development will make much-needed residential blocks available to the northwest of Forbes CBD, along with all the associated services to ensure Forbes can continue to grow and thrive.

The proposed site will be located at the junction of Bogan Gate Road and Edward Street. The DA has now been lodged so nearby residents will be receiving notification very soon.

Tell us what you would like the new residential estate in Forbes to be called, and choose your favourite grain varieties for us to use as street names. Council have chosen grain types for the street names in the estate to pay tribute to all the hard working farmers throughout the Shire’s history. Agriculture is such an important part of the fabric of our Forbes community and we want to honour that.
