Mr Fursey was recently appointed to the casual role, which involves the regular maintenance of Bigga’s parks, gardens and reserves and ensuring the cleanliness of the town’s streets and public amenities.

He brings more than 27 years experience in building/house construction, renovation, maintenance, service and repair to the role.

Upper Lachlan Shire Council general manager John Bell congratulated Mr Fursey on his appointment. “The position of Bigga Townsperson was created in response to the significant number of travellers through the town. We also have a dedicated Townsperson in Taralga,” Mr Bell said.

“Scott’s knowledge and experience will be a real asset to the role.”
