Regional councils have welcomed the State Government’s commitment of a $500 million package as a fantastic start in the mission to repair $2.5 billion in road damage following 2022’s floods and torrential rains on rural roads.
Following the release of the package last Tuesday by Premier Dominic Perrottet and Deputy Premier Paul Toole, the government have today (Monday 9 January) announced that the application process will be fast-tracked to open this Wednesday 11 January.
Councils can apply for a one-off payment to support emergency and heavy patching of the pothole damage to roads with funds expected to be available “within weeks”…
