The State government's public reserves management fund program has allocated $26,741 towards the supply and installation of a lighting tower and electrical wiring of the cattle sheds.
The funding is part of a $60,000 package which will be pumped into the region's public reserves and community hubs.
“Public reserves in our region such as sportsgrounds, showgrounds, community halls, walking tracks and local parks are valued places which are used by our local community every day,” Member for Myall Lakes, Stephen Bromhead said.
“This funding is not only vital to the success of our regional communities, but also supports the role our professional and volunteer managers play in the ongoing management of the reserves.
“This funding will allow our local organisations to implement the improvements required to ensure these important places can continue to be enjoyed by our local community now and into the future.
“I’m thrilled to see that the money we’ve secured for each of the successful projects will go to good use.”
The funding package also would include $8000 to eradicate and manage noxious weeds on various Crown land sites throughout the electorate and $24,685 for the replacement of wooden piers under Caffreys Flat Hall with brick piers and concrete footings.
