One of those significant changes will be a stronger focus on food, both the variety of options and the quality. Head Chef Rory Walker believes that will be the key to reviving the Royal and returning it to its former glory. “Obviously food is a big part of it. We want to do something with the Royal and hopefully get that back to the pub that everyone says it used to be.” “We’d like to get the food and maybe a cafe breakfast, and even do some entertainment there, we haven’t quite figured that out yet,” said Rory. While they promised to make both pubs more family-friendly, they also said that having a strong nightlife has been a consistent theme across their other venues, a theme they’d like to see replicated in Yass. As well as that, Trent believes having a strong community focus is an absolute necessity for running a pub Rory Walker and Hannah Middleton. potential in them both. “Pretty much a place that is just for and hopes to sponsor more sporting The Clubhouse and Royal Hotels of He and his team pride themselves on everyone to come out.

Yass Valley Council will tonight be presented with information stating an increase of $260 per year to Typical Residential Bills will be required to pay for the construction of an upgraded water treatment plant if they fail to receive further government subsidies. Households in Yass Valley paid $3.40 per kL of water used in 2019/20 which is well above the median of $2.22/kL in the medium category of 19 Councils with Walgett holding the cheapest at $0.90 and Tenterfield the most expensive at $3.80. The project cost is estimated now to total $33.2 million, with the Council's water operations still holding an outstanding loan of $11.954 million as of June 2020, due to the raising of the Yass Dam Wall project of 2013, which also received no government subsidy. For those that can recall, the Dam Wall project's repayments were considered hefty at the time at $205.67 per year for each household and was the highest loan repayment in medium category water operations in the state.

The water that is coming out of the water treatment plant is clear and safe. Sporadic incidents are expected along the trunk water main (250 cast iron main from the 1960s) while the hot temperatures prevail.
