Building and Other Construction Works

• Clarence Town Sporting Facility: Carpark and footpath works on this $2M sporting and recreational asset are nearing completion. This project is funded by the NSW Government's Stronger Country Communities Fund (SCCF).
• Coronation Park: This $108,000 playground upgrade including the installation of new play equipment, fencing, paths and shade sails, is continuing. These works are largely funded by the Australian Government's Local Road and Community Infrastructure (LRCI) Program.

Sealed and unsealed road maintenance including patching, grading, gravel sheeting and drainage works were also undertaken on roads across the shire.

These works are in addition to the regular maintenance, repair, slashing and mowing carried out across all council facilities.
