Gunnedah Shire will once again host Australia’s biggest field days when AgQuip opens on August 20.

AgQuip brings the world to Gunnedah and Gunnedah to the world as thousands of visitors flock to the field days site on Black Jack Road.

Gunnedah Shire Council Manager Economy & Growth Susan Frater said Gunnedah Shire was at the heart of this important event.

“AgQuip is a born and bred Gunnedah Shire event that has played a huge role in bringing innovation to the agricultural community over more than 50 years,” Ms Frater said.

“We welcome all the exhibitors, visitors and sponsors to AgQuip and to Gunnedah, and invite them to spend time in our great Shire, whether it is through shopping, dining, accommodation or some of the many other attractions we have to offer.

“Gunnedah Shire Council is a sponsor of AgQuip, and we congratulate ACM Agri on once again making this wonderful event a reality.”

The community is asked to be patient on the roads during the AgQuip Field Days on Tuesday, 20 August to Thursday, 22 August while Gunnedah Shire hosts AgQuip visitors.

There will be changes to traffic conditions between 7am and 7pm on these days. Blackjack Road will be closed at the Oxley Highway intersection and motorists are requested to use Hunts Road instead.

Please drive carefully and according to conditions, and pay heed to road signage.

Gunnedah Shire Council will have a stand at the AgQuip Field Days in Pavilion 2. Staff will be available on site throughout the three days.
