LISMORE MP Janelle Saffin says the NSW Government is supporting Tweed Shire Council and Rous County Council to manage important estuarine areas with grants totalling $291,663.
TWEED Shire Council is set to receive $70,000 towards the Road Safety Signs Project thanks to the NSW Government as part of the $37.2 million Local Small Commitments Allocation Program.
Janelle Saffin MP has welcomed Fixing Local Roads Round 4 funding flowing to local councils in our Electorate of Lismore with projects due to start within 12 months.
Janelle Saffin MP spent most of last year in Parliament advocating for more road funding. She welcomes a $9.7-million injection for four local councils but warns there is at least a $142-million backlog which needs addressing.
Janelle Saffin MP has welcomed State funding for pothole repair as a win from her advocacy but says more is needed and called on The Nationals to honour their promise of taking back 15,000kms of regional roads.
Budget Estimates hearings have revealed that not one single kilometre of a promised 15,000 kilometres of regional roads have been transferred from local councils to NSW Government ownership and management.
Janelle Saffin MP has reaffirmed her ‘rock solid’ opposition to the NSW Government’s ill-advised proposal to close four Murwillumbah public schools and replace them with a mega campus. Tweed Shire Council is also opposed.
Tweed Shire is one of seven local government areas under the new Northern Rivers Reconstruction Corporation, a powerful authority which Janelle Saffin MP lobbied for from day one after devastating flooding in late February.
Janelle Saffin is lobbying the NSW Premier for a regional flood mitigation funding package on behalf of four councils in the Lismore Electorate.
