Regional New South Wales will be seeing better road, rail and freight networks, with various transport infrastructure projects set to go underway. The projects are boosted by the record $55.6 billion investment through the 2019-20 State Budget.
“This Budget builds upon years of regional investment, with even more happening in the bush than ever before.
“We;re getting on with the job of upgrading key routes across the State including the Princes, Pacific, Great Western, Newell, Cobb and Silver City highways, providing major economic benefits, as well as safer and more efficient journeys,” Minister for Regional Transport and Roads Paul Toole said.
Regional NSW projects highlighted in the 2019-20 State Budget include:
“I am excited for those who live in regional and rural NSW as we unlock our capacity by investing in infrastructure that responds to the needs of today and prepares for future growth.
“We will also start rolling out funding to fix local roads and timber bridges as part of a $1 billion investment in improving these key connections for local communities,” Mr Toole said.
Earlier this week, the NSW Government announced a record $55.6 billion investment to be spent over four years as part of the 2019-20 State Budget - which includes $32.2 billion for public transport projects and $23.4 billion for road projects.
