GURINGAI FESTIVAL
The debate around the table brought out the issue that the Guringai Festival was already budgeted for to the value of $15,000 and waiting for direction.
What was missing was the co-contributions from the other 8 councils that also participate and a need to refocus the future planning of the 3 co-chairs and participating Councils to share the events around.
