Crown reserves secure over $2 million funding
More than $2 million in funding has been awarded to a range of local improvement projects for Crown land reserves and facilities across the Barwon region.
Upper House MP Sam Farraway said the funding is being provided by the NSW Government under its Crown Reserves Improvement Fund.
“It’s fantastic to see these funds have been secured for a variety of projects this year under the Crown Reserves Improvement Fund program to maintain and upgrade local reserves as well as community facilities located on them,” Mr Farraway said.
“This funding will see infrastructure upgrades to local community halls, parks, showgrounds, PCYC and sporting clubs, caravan parks, museums, racecourses and more as well as maintenance of Crown reserves through noxious weed and pest control.”
