The NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA) began an extensive testing program of the Belubula River in the state's central west after PFAS, or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, were detected last year.

It cost $232 million and covers 2.4 kilometres, but the newest stretch of the Great Western Highway in New South Wales has been branded a road "to nowhere". Motorists can now travel on a dual-lane carriageway that bypasses the village of Little Hartley, east of Lithgow. After that traffic merges back onto the old route, which offers one lane each way. Sharon Tofler runs the Lolly Bug, which sits on the old stretch of the highway, and is not a fan of the new road.

Independent federal MP Andrew Gee has blamed an inexperienced staff member for a social media gaffe that had Mr Gee thanking himself as the "good guy" in a comment on Facebook about his opponent's "dirty tactics". The comment, impersonating a disgruntled voter but posted as "Andrew Gee MP", replied to his own post railing against "blatant lies" he claimed the Nationals Party was using against him to reclaim the regional western NSW electorate.

Three children allegedly walked free from a childcare centre while assumed to be under supervision. The facility reported itself to the NSW Education Department blaming loose gate latches that were blown open in the wind. The regulator will collate and assess evidence to determine what, if any, action is taken. A childcare centre in central west NSW is under investigation after three minors allegedly escaped from the premises and were spotted near a road by a passer-by.
