Council are pleased to support events such as the Valvoline Autofest and Show NShine that showcase Mount Gambier and bring economic benefit to our community.

“We have a long successful history with our events in other locations and thefact that there is strictly no alcohol is a major factor in that. Everywherethere is an Autofest they are happy to have us and we’re very pleased to becoming to Mount Gambier”, Mr Adams said.
