NSW Premier, Barry O’Farrell announced the roll out of 1235 community projects as a part of the $90 million program over four years.
“Local construction jobs and businesses will benefit from the activity as this community infrastructure is delivered,” Mr O’Dea said.
“While the NSW Government is getting on with the job of delivering major infrastructure projects, we understand important local community infrastructure benefits too.
“There was strong competition for the available funds and a high level of interest from the community with almost 2,500 applications received across NSW in total.
“I look forward to seeing the benefits to our communities as projects are undertaken and outcomes utilised across the Davidson Electorate, Mr O’Dea said.
