Narrandera Shire is set to receive funding totalling $1.22 million through the recently announced Fixing Local Roads Program. This program is a joint venture between the Australian and NSW Governments to improve local roads across regional NSW and create many local jobs.

This welcome announcement will see $1.22 million in funding and a $300,000 Council contribution to complete three major road infrastructure projects:

• Sealing the remaining six kilometres of road along Old Wagga Road to the Council boundary, commencing late 2020.
• Repair works to the Brewarrana Bridge along Buckingbong Road, which will begin in early 2021 and will take approximately four months to complete.
• Sealing the remaining eight kilometres along Paintings Bridge Road, to begin late 2020.

Mayor Cr Neville Kschenka has welcomed the announcement, “These projects have been identified for some time as priorities and we have endeavoured to progress them in stages with available funds.

“Now, with this latest grant through the Fixing Country Roads program, Council will be able to complete these works in the near future.

“Council and the regular users of these roads appreciate the support of the Australian and State Governments in providing this much needed funding,” Mayor Kschenka continued.
