More roads funding pledged by Libs

The pledges for roads funding keep on coming from the Liberal Party.

This time, the Liberals are pledging $3.9M to undertake a full upgrade of Nioka Ave between Talinga Ave and Takari Ave at Point Clare, including construction of footpaths, drainage upgrades and parking improvements.

Shadow Minister for Finance, Senator Jane Hume, said a Liberal Government will get the delivery of critical road projects in the Central Coast back on track, after “three wasted years of cuts and delays” by the Labor Government.

Liberal candidate for Roberston, Lucy Wicks, said the funding would deliver significant improvements to make the existing road environment safer for all road users including cyclists and pedestrians.

“Nioka Avenue is a narrow residential road with one car width access when cars are parked on each side, with no footpath for students and parents walking to the Point Clare Public School, posing a significant pedestrian safety risk every day,” she said.

“Improving our local roads and enabling safe, quality transport infrastructure results in huge benefits for many in the community.

“This commitment is a sign of the importance of listening to local residents and taking action to help fix local problems by partnering with local government to deliver on road upgrades to ensure the people of Robertson, and the broader Central Coast have the safe and efficient roads they need and deserve.”
