THE St Albans Writers’ Festival will receive $30,000 from Hawkesbury Council over the next three years to help with the running of the festival.
The decision was made at council’s December 12 meeting.
Council will provide $7500 each year to the festival, while another $2500 of in-kind support will also be contributed to St Albans Writers’ Festival Inc, the organisers of the event.
The decision was unanimously supported, however, Cr Emma-Jane Garrow was absent from the chamber and did not vote after declaring a pecuniary interest.
