Glenworth Grazing - Furnace and the Fundamentals.

9 July 2025

 

MEMBER for Gosford, Liesl Tesch MP said the funds would help event owners continue to bring their event vision to life and make a valuable contribution to the Gosford visitor economy.

 

“I’m thrilled that Glenworth Grazing received this funding from the NSW Government, amongst more than $1.3 million being awarded to event owners across the state,” Ms Tesch said.

 

The Regional Event Fund forms part of the Minns Labor Government’s commitment to strengthening local communities and growing regional visitor economies.

 

The program provides grants of up to $50,000 to help bring events to life – from marketing and PR campaigns to infrastructure and equipment hire to enhance the visitor experience.

 

Minister for Jobs and Tourism Steve Kamper said: “Regional events are the heartbeat of local communities – they celebrate what makes each region unique while also driving real economic benefits by attracting visitors, creating jobs and supporting local businesses.

 

“This investment of more than $1.3 million will give certainty to event organisers across the state to elevate their offerings and reach new audiences.

 

“I congratulate all the recipients of the Regional Event Fund and thank them for their passion and dedication to ensuring regional NSW remains the nation’s premier destination for unforgettable regional visitor experiences.”

 

Ms Tesch went on to say that "Glenworth Grazing is such an exciting highlight of the Central Coast events calendar, celebrating local food, culture, music and the arts against the stunning backdrop of Glenworth Valley.

 

“With our incredible coastline and beautiful bush landscapes, the Central Coast is truly a wonderful place to live. Events such as Glenworth Grazing are a fantastic opportunity for our community and visitors to explore the best of what the region has to offer.

 

“This funding is a key part of the Minns Labor Government’s committed to revitalising regional events, celebrating the diversity, vibrancy and unique character of our region, while supporting our local visitor economy.”

 

General Manager of Glenworth Valley Wilderness Adventures Mia Lawler said that Glenworth Grazing was more than just a festival; it was a way of sharing the breathtaking beauty of Glenworth Valley with the community. "Seeing families and friends come together to enjoy local food, music, and the great outdoors is truly rewarding. We're grateful for the support that helps us continue this tradition," he said.

 

"This grant enables us to elevate the Glenworth Grazing experience, attracting more visitors to the Central Coast hinterland. It's a fantastic opportunity to showcase our region's rich culture and natural landscapes, boosting local tourism and the visitor economy.

 

"The Glenworth Grazing Festival is a platform for local artisans, producers, and performers to shine. With this funding, we can expand our reach, support more local talent, and offer an even more diverse and enriching experience for attendees."
