“Communities across the Myall Lakes will greatly benefit from these projects. The 17 new shelters and upgrades to 27 shelters throughout Myall Lakes will make people’s public transport journey safer, easier and more comfortable,” Member for Myall Lakes, Stephen Bromhead said.
The Country Passenger Transport Infrastructure Grants Scheme (CPTIGS) primary purpose is to fund projects that improve amenity and accessibility. The funding will see new shelters constructed around Old Bar, Tuncurry, Wingham, Harrington and Taree.
“I will continue to work locally with Mid Coast Council and local community groups and my parliamentary colleagues to deliver improved infrastructure for all Myall Lakes residents," Mr Bromhead said.
“The biennial scheme benefits regional public transport passengers with a wide range of projects, including new bus seats, timetable and information poles and boards, tactile indicators, bus stop upgrades, security lighting and new shelters.
“The NSW government is committed to providing high quality service to our regional transport customers and is getting on with the job of providing improvements and upgrades across the network,” Mr Bromhead said.
