With 2022 being the 100th anniversary since Henry Lawson passed away the motion was to ensure progress be reported to Council in its Business Paper each month to keep Councillors informed.
"This will give the direction to the Tilma Group (see front page story) and the Weddin Shire Community that the Weddin Shire is 100 per cent behind the Henry Lawson Festival," Cr Liebich said.
"The Henry Lawson Festival has run concurrently for 62 years up until the break due to COVID-19.
Cr Liebich said at a recent meeting everyone wants the meeting resource problems just needed to be fixed.
"Weddin Shire Council has a responsibility to the community to make sure this Festival takes place," he said.
