Wentworth Shire Council has reported high attendance and community participation at the 70-Year Flood Rally events over the King's Birthday long weekend, highlighted by an Australian record achievement.

Key outcomes:
- Australian Record: 110 Ferguson tractors assembled in one location, honouring the community members who used tractors to build the protective levee banks during the 1956 flood.
- Attendance: Sundayโ€™s activities across the Main Street Muster and Wentworth Wharf Precinct drew an estimated 2,500 people. The Visitor Centre registered over 1,400 visitors on Sunday, and Fibre Optic Symphonic Orchestra (FOSO) recorded more than 600 ticket sales.
- Economic Impact: Preliminary REMPLAN modelling suggests the event generated a direct economic impact exceeding $600,000, supporting local hospitality, retail, and accommodation providers.

Council acknowledges the project teams, event organisers, local businesses, sponsors, and Council staff who coordinated the logistics for the weekend.
