A NEW motor sports festival is one of the ideas Swan Hill Rural City Council is toying with as it looks to bring a new regional event to the municipality.
The council earmarked $15,000 in its 2016/17 draft budget in seed funding to attract a new regional event to the district.
Director corporate services David Lenton said Swan Hill already had a good calendar of events in Swan Hill but there were some gaps the council would like to fill.

Mr Lenton said a festival of motor sports was an idea that had already come up on the radar.
