Narrandera Shire Council has welcomed the funding announcement by Member for Cootamundra Steph Cooke for projects in Narrandera and Barellan under the NSW Government's Get NSW Active program.
Local projects funded under this tranche include:
- 70,000 for Narrandera Shire Council to develop a long-term strategy and action plan for pedestrian and cycling infrastructure, and
- $30,000 for Narrandera Shire Council to construct a footpath at Barellan.
Narrandera Shire Mayor Cr Neville Kschenka said the project at Barellan will deliver a footpath on the southern side of Mulga Street, between Myall Street and Boree Street.
"The footpath will link the school with other footpaths in the Barellan township and completes council's pedestrian access mobility plan," Cr Kschenka said.
"Council is committed to providing safe pathways and pedestrian access throughout the Narrandera Shire."
Four tranches will be announced throughout the year with a total investment of $110 million NSW-wide.
