Wiradjuri artists unveil new Riverside artwork
An artwork created by professional Wiradjuri artists Owen Lyons and Teisha Robinson will feature prominently beside the Riverside basketball court which is set to undergo a major upgrade.
The artwork will be reproduced on a vinyl wrap and installed on a modified shipping container, to be located alongside two new 3×3 basketball courts, and to be utilised at competitions and other events at the Wagga Beach precinct during the year.
The new courts will be built to Olympic standard in place of the current full-size asphalt court and feature the Federation Internationale de Basketball Amateur (FIBA) approved rubber playing surface.
A community initiative to permanently locate equipment to assist in an emergency has been built in North Wagga Wagga. The North Wagga Wagga Flood Cache.

Upgraded airport taxiways complete
Upgraded taxiways designed to accommodate Regional Express, Qantas and larger passenger aircraft at Wagga Wagga Airport has opened to air traffic this week.
The scope of the project included widening and strengthening the existing taxiways and extending taxiway A to the runway end to allow for the passenger traffic to enter onto the runways without having to perform a turnback to take-off.
The taxiways will improve the efficiency of the airport with aircraft spending less time on the runway, as the taxiway configuration now allows access for aircraft to the end of the runways.
