Terranora road upgrade can now get underway thanks to the NSW Nationals’ $500 million Fixing Local Roads program.
Nationals Member for Tweed Geoff Provest MP said Tweed Shire Council will receive $1,320,000 to enable them to accelerate repairs and maintenance work to bring local roads up to scratch.
“The NSW Nationals are committed to fixing the roads you use every day through our $1.8 billion investment into local roads,” Mr Provest said.
“Work funded will include sealing, resurfacing, road maintenance, drainage improvement and patching of local roads.
“Today’s announcement builds on the $330 million being provided to regional councils to fix potholes and the more than $500 million being invested into our Fixing Country Roads program.”
Nationals Minister for Regional Transport and Roads Sam Farraway said Fixing Local Roads was a game changer for regional communities.
“Regional NSW has been doing it tough and we know how much better roads mean to people living in the regions, so I’m especially pleased to announce this injection of much needed funds,” Mr Farraway said.
“The $500 million NSW Government’s Fixing Local Roads program supports councils to improve routes that regional communities use every day, making journeys for locals, farmers, and freight safer, more efficient, and more reliable.
