The Albanese Government is building Australia\u2019s future by delivering infrastructure that connects regional communities and eases the everyday lives of locals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019ve listened to the people of Shoalhaven, and today we are announcing $5 million for the Nowra Riverfront Precinct \u2013 a new mixed-use hub that will reconnect Nowra city centre with the Shoalhaven River waterfront.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The new precinct will transform Nowra for locals and visitors alike, shaping the future of the town and strengthening its role as the civic and tourism centre for the Shoalhaven region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It will create an integrated space, incorporating parklands, accommodation, areas for commercial and social activities, as well as active transport links.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today\u2019s investment is supporting a precinct masterplan, detailed designs for the central open space, drainage, an access road, and a business case. It will help complete the planning, while early delivery of public space improvements will encourage private investment and renewal of the surrounding area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This project showcases the Government\u2019s commitment to listening to, and working with, local communities, and addressing regional needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is funded through the Albanese Government\u2019s regional Precincts and Partnership Program, which provides investment to transform regional, rural and remote places.

It\u2019s where I grew up riding my bike from the farm to the Nowra Pool. It\u2019s where I married, where I regularly swam with my family and community, and it\u2019s where I fought so hard along with our community to save Nowra\u2019s community swimming pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019ve never lost sight of that as part of a revitalised riverfront. That\u2019s why I\u2019ve been fighting every single day to continue riverfront revitalisation for our community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTo say I\u2019m thrilled with this funding announcement today is an understatement. It is a pivotal piece in the puzzle of the always-longed-for revitalised riverfront.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cA revitalised Nowra Riverfront will mean huge benefits for our community with improved liveability and wellbeing options as well as being good for tourism, local businesses and jobs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe are excited to be able to continue to progress this project with the NSW Government\u2019s Nowra Riverfront Advisory Taskforce towards delivery as it presents a significant and long desired opportunity to shape the future of Nowra and strengthen its role as the civic, community, tourism and recreational hub for the Shoalhaven region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThis funding will allow us to complete planning investigations and finalise the masterplan designs for the flagship riverfront park, and conduct further community consultation and a business case to facilitate investment in this foreshore precinct.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Albanese Government is building Australia\u2019s future by delivering infrastructure that connects regional communities and eases the everyday lives of locals.
