Anthony Albanese, Minister for Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development, today announced the Rudd Labor Government would provide more than $291,000 for three bike path projects in the central west region of New South Wales.
Mr Albanese said the projects were part of the Rudd Government’s $40 million National Bike Paths Projects fund and a key element of our Economic Stimulus Plan.
“We are investing in three bike path projects in Bathurst, Blayney and Molong to support local jobs while delivering community infrastructure for the longer term.
“Together, these projects will support 17 jobs and six traineeships during construction and into the longer term.
“All up, they are worth more than $587,000, with local councils providing the remaining funding,” Mr Albanese said.
The projects are as follows:
“By providing better cycling infrastructure, the Government is helping take cars off local roads and reducing carbon emissions over the longer term,” Mr Albanese said
“We are building community infrastructure that will encourage healthier lifestyles amongst residents and create more sustainable communities.
“Across Australia, the Rudd Government is funding more than 170 projects across Australia, supporting more than 1,900 jobs in local communities,” Mr Albanese concluded.
