Published on 01 November 2021

Safer travel around Temora is on the way, with $998,636 rolling out under the latest round of the Fixing Local Roads Program.

Member for Cootamundra, Steph Cooke said the Round 3 funding is for the sealing 4.2kms of road around the urban township of the Temora.

“The projects will give Temora Shire Council a helping hand to address their maintenance backlog and to maintain urban roads delivering safer trips to school or to the shops,” Ms Cooke said.

“The Temora community is already reaping the benefits of this program with $3.4 million invested on local roads from the first two rounds.

“Over the three rounds of Fixing Local Roads, the Cootamundra electorate has received a total of over $42 million to improve our local road networks.”

Mayor of Temora Shire Council, Rick Firman is grateful for the continued investment for Temora Roads.

“Temora has prided ourselves on having a well-maintained road network and this funding will help ensure the roads continue to stay at a high standard,” Cr Firman said.

Deputy Premier and Minister for Regional Transport and Roads Paul Toole said Fixing Local Roads had already delivered more than 67 projects across the electorate.

“We know that sometimes it’s small projects that can drive big benefits in the bush. This program is helping to deliver better journeys on the roads families use every day and support the domestic tourism,” Mr Toole said.

“These projects won’t just ensure that locals see the benefits of this investment every time they get behind the wheel, they’re also supporting an additional 1,374 jobs throughout construction across regional NSW.”

Fixing Local Roads is a $500 million NSW Government program, which was boosted by the Australian Government over the first two rounds with an additional $191 million.
