Gosford Council will receive almost $6 million for local road construction and street repairs under the Australian Government’s $2.1 billion Roads to Recovery programme.
Member for Robertson Ms Lucy Wicks said the funding was great news for local residents and businesses across the Central Coast. “Importantly, the Roads to Recovery Programme is set up for councils to make road spending decisions based on local needs to ensure that funding is truly directed to where it is most needed across the Central Coast. Ms Wicks said Gosford Council would be receiving their funding allocation of $5,916,887 in November. (This is the total allocation to Council for their portion of the five year programme and represents less than 0.25% of the total programme. Ed) “The Roads to Recovery programme enables councils to prioritise roads funding to invest in the infrastructure which keeps our drivers safe and strengthens economic growth,” Ms Wicks said.
