Federal Member for Hume Angus Taylor has announced Roads to Recovery funding of $4,888,537 for the shire.

Mr Taylor said Wingecarribee Council could expect to receive total funding of $4,888,537 between 2014-15 to 2018-19, with $814,756 to be allocated in 2014-2015.

"These funds will make a real difference in building roads, repairing streets and creating better access across Wingecarribee Shire," he said.

"The government is doubling Roads to Recovery payments to councils next year (2015-16), which will be a tremendous windfall.

"Importantly, the Roads to Recovery program is set up to allow road spending decisions to be based on local needs, to ensure that funding is truly directed to where it is most needed.

"Councils can lodge their applications in October, which will allow payments under the new Roads to Recovery program to be made this November," he said.

Mr Taylor said the Black Spot Program for dangerous roads was also still open for nominations from local government, community organisations and individuals.
