"These infrastructure improvement projects are not only varied but widespread across the shire," she said.
"They will deliver safer transport movements along key traffic corridors, enable more convenient parking and provide more efficient public amenity.
"Together they will provide real and lasting benefits for all residents and visitors to the Southern Highlands."
The funding approved at the council's Ordinary Meeting of April 20 2022, includes:
- $2.51 million towards the construction of new vehicular bridges in Wildes Meadow, Mittagong, Meryla and Bowral,
- $0.70 million to construct a new carpark and stormwater drainage on Station Street in Bowral
- $18.50 million (combination of General Revenue, Special Rate Variation funding and grant monies) to be spent over the next two financial years on renewing a 9.5 kilometre section of Old South Road from Merrigang Street in Bowral to Aylmerton Road in Braemar
Details of all the approved infrastructure projects can be found within the the council minutes and agenda at www.wsc.nsw.gov.au/Council/Council-Meeting-Minutes-Agendas.
