The Speaker of the NSW Legislative Assembly, Mr Richard Torbay, MLC, will be the guest speaker at an inaugural fund-raising dinner for the Tony McGrane Memorial Scholarship at Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Dubbo on Friday 24 September. The CSU Head of Campus in Dubbo, Dr Beverley Moriarty, said, “The dinner is a significant opportunity for the people of Dubbo to honour Mr McGrane and support the development of Charles Sturt University. The Tony McGrane Scholarship Fund has been established to make scholarships available to students from the Orana region and the Dubbo electorate to attend the University in Dubbo. The scholarship fund will be a lasting recognition of the involvement of Mr McGrane in the establishment of Charles Sturt University in Dubbo during his term as Mayor of Dubbo from 1991 to 1999. Mr Torbay was a long- time colleague of Mr McGrane in local and state governments.”
