A re-elected Liberal and Nationals Government will commit a further $90 million to the Stronger Country Communities Fund to continue building the projects that make regional NSW the best place to live, work and raise a family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the past five years, the Stronger Country Communities Fund has delivered more than 2,500 grassroots projects benefitting every regional LGA in the State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Deputy Premier and Minister for Regional NSW Paul Toole said the further $90 million commitment would take the total investment in the fund to three quarters of a billion dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEverywhere I go, people tell me about the big difference these Stronger Country Communities projects make to everyday life – whether it\u2019s a new skate park that kids love, a new community hall, upgrades to the main street or programs that make living in the regions even better,\u201d Mr Toole said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe aren\u2019t just building playgrounds and sporting ovals, we\u2019re building communities to be proud of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s the little things that make a big difference to the way we all work, live, play and do business, and the NSW Liberals and Nationals Government is delivering the projects that make a difference to everyday life right across regional NSW, from Byron Bay to Bega to Broken Hill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNot only do these projects improve life for those who already call regional NSW home, but they also act as a major drawcard for those visiting to consider staying longer term.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Stronger Country Communities Fund is part of the NSW Liberal and Nationals Government\u2019s $3.3 billion Regional Growth Fund, designed to support growing regional centres, activate local economies and improve services and community infrastructure in the regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
