NORTHERN NSW INFRASTRUCTURE TO BE BUILT BACK BETTER

NORTHERN NSW INFRASTRUCTURE TO BE BUILT BACK BETTER
Applications are now open for 26 flood-damaged regions to share in $312.5 million, to rebuild damaged roads and transport infrastructure, in order to better withstand future natural disasters.
A total of 26 Councils affected by the February 2022 floods are eligible for the package, which is funded jointly by the Commonwealth and New South Wales governments.
While support to rebuild damaged roads was announced earlier this year, it only allowed for infrastructure to be repaired to pre-disaster conditions. It has now been expanded to enable Councils to build back in a more resilient way.
This new agreement between the Commonwealth and New South Wales governments means roads can be improved, and built to withstand future natural hazards.
The new Betterment program is open to Councils in the following NSW local government areas: Armidale, Ballina, Bellingen, Byron, Central Coast, Cessnock, Clarence Valley, Coffs Harbour, Dungog, Glen Innes Severn, Kempsey, Kyogle, Lake Macquarie, Lismore, Maitland, Mid-Coast, Muswellbrook, Nambucca, Newcastle, Port Macquarie-Hastings, Port Stephens, Richmond Valley, Singleton, Tenterfield, Tweed and Upper Hunter.
Further information about the Regional Roads and Transport Recovery Package is available here: https://nswroads.work/rrtrp.
