Ararat Rural City Council is pleased to announce a new infrastructure project aimed at improving the safety and accessibility of the municipality's road network.
Council has received funding to undertake significant road reconstruction works on two key sections of road in Ararat.
The project will involve renewal works on Churchill Avenue, between Tobin Street and Port Fairy Road, and on Webb Street, between Churchill Avenue and McArthur Street.
This road renewal project will include kerb and channel works, as well as replacing sections of footpath, and upgrades to the drainage network.
Once these renewal works have been completed, the two sections of road will be resurfaced, resulting in a safer and more accessible road user experience.
This $1.5m reconstruction project is supported by the Federal Government's Roads to Recovery Program, which aims to support the construction and maintenance of local road infrastructure assets to facilitate greater accessibility and improve safety, economic and social outcomes.
"Well-maintained roads are crucial for economic growth, development, and the overall wellbeing of our community," said CEO of Ararat Rural City Council, Dr Tim Harrison.
"This project is part of our ongoing commitment to improving road safety and reliability to ensure a more efficient road network within our municipality."
