The NSW Government is investing $160 million to upgrade local infrastructure in regional towns through the latest round of the Stronger Country Communities Fund.
NSW Nationals Upper House MP Sam Farraway said the program has seen $500 million invested over the past four rounds delivering more than 2,000 local projects across regional NSW.
“The NSW Government is securing a brighter future for families across the Central West. We are achieving this by investing in our communities and building what matters to make daily life easier,” Mr Farraway said.
“Applications for Round Five are now open and I strongly encourage eligible organisations to apply,” said Mr Farraway.
“If you are a local sporting club in need of new change rooms or a youth group running holiday programs this is your chance to secure support to deliver projects that will make a real difference in your community,” Mr Farraway said.
“We’ve seen the benefits of the Stronger Country Communities Fund in beautifying local towns through projects such as the $100,000 uplift to the Peak Hill Community Garden.”
The NSW Government is investing record amounts to deliver the big picture infrastructure needed to stimulate regional economies, and are also backing community pro- jects that make a big positive difference to everyday life.
The $660 million Stronger Country Communities Fund is part of the NSW Government’s $3.3 billion Regional Growth Fund, which is being invested in local projects that improve the lives of people living in regional NSW.
Applications for Round Five of the Strong- er Country Communities Fund are now open and close on 23rd September at 5pm. For more information visit: www.nsw.gov.au/sccf
