Money for repairs
TENTERFIELD Shire Council will receive more than $2 million in State and Federal Government grants to fix key infrastructure, it was announced this week.
Council coffers will be bolstered with $1.5 million to upgrade Mount Lindesay Road between Legume and Woodenbong and $160,000 to upgrade Tooloom Bridge.
The council matched $160,000 towards the bridge project which will remove the existing 15 tonne load limit and the need for heavy vehicles to take a 16 kilometre detour.
Meanwhile, the council will also receive $350,000 from the Australian Government’s new $300 million Bridges Renewal Program to upgrade Bookookoorara Creek Bridge on Mount Lindesay Road.
This is in addition to the $1,047,618 it received on Monday under the third quarterly payment of the Commonwealth’s Financial Assistance Grant program.
