This is on top of the $778,000 funding coming from the Federal Government’s Black Spot Program and $3.8 million from the NSW Government’s Safer Roads Program.
Mayor Khal Asfour said he was looking forward to seeing more than 120 road projects completed.
“We have a huge 907-kilometre road network and it is important our community and visitors are able to get to where they’re going safely,” he said.
“Our investment in roads shows our ongoing commitment to the safety of motorists and pedestrians.”
Works includs road resurfacing and widening; kerb and gutter construction; installation of speed humps; and construction of roundabouts.
