Top NSW government ministers left the city behind for a cabinet meeting in Bourke, to experience first-hand how tough conditions are in the Far West and witness the resilience and ingenuity of these communities.

NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian and Deputy Premier John Barilaro along with Minister for Local Government Shelley Hancock were also in Narromine on Sunday to meet with mayors and general managers from the western region.

Councillor Donald said he believed the round table meeting at Narromine and cabinet meeting in Bourke were valuable to voice relevant topics with the principle decision makers of government.

He said the main focus for the Bogan Shire was still rate relief, water infrastructure and the measures taken to minimise the effect on people in the drought.

"Obviously water issues remain very much the main part of the agenda. What's proposed for the future, and what can be done in the present to try and make our current supplies last as long as possible," Cr Donald said.

"As far as local government is concerned, some form of direct payment to [the council] to ease pressure on rates and give people a bit of cash before Christmas is very important.

"Payments to small business too. The federal government have made loans available to them, but that's like primary producers, that's extra debt that has to be paid back."

Cr Donald said another topic of concern was around the household support scheme and its arduous application process.

"I think Alan Jones was almost right with his comment that federal government assistance has almost been made very hard to get intentionally, rather than for those who should be getting assistance fairly straight forward."

Cr Donald said following the road trip out west, he hopes future announcements will be made by the state cabinets.

"One thing I think is important out of the round table in Narromine and interviews in Bourke, is that some outcomes are announced by state cabinet after they've considered things that they've heard in those venues," he said.

Ms Berejiklian understood each community has different challenges and would be taking on board suggestions.

"[We] will take back what we've heard and make sure we keep supporting our communities," she said.
