A second drug summit will be held in New South Wales at the end of the year, the state government has confirmed.
The summit is scheduled to be held over a collective four days, beginning with two days of regional forums from October.
The second half of the drug summit will be held on December 4 and 5 in Sydney.
The confirmation comes after months of uncertainty of when the state government would announce the summit.
NSW Premier Chris Minns committed to holding a drug summit during the 2023 election.
“We know that drug use impacts individuals, families and communities in many different ways. The drug summit will bring people together to find new ways forward to tackle this incredibly complex and difficult problem,” Mr Minns said.
