Key Infrastructure Projects Delivered In 2021
In 2021, Council will deliver on four key community infrastructure programs across the region thanks to $1.27million from the Australian Government’s Local Roads and Community Infrastructure (LRCI) Program.
The LRCI is funded by the Australian Government and supports local councils to deliver priority local road and community infrastructure projects across Australia, supporting jobs and the resilience of local economies to help communities bounce back from the COVID- 19 pandemic.
The projects which were approved as part of the 2021 LRCI Phase Two were:
1. Warrami Road Upgrade
2. Wilson Road Widening
3. Tully Heads Road Widening
4. Warrakin Road Culvert 16 and 22
Council has proudly completed Warrami Road Upgrade, Wilson Road Upgrade and Warrakin Road Culvert within the last month, with Tully Heads Road Widening in the design phase.
All four of these projects focus on upgrading vital community infrastructure, improving road access to some of our smaller communities in the region.
Thanks to the LRCI Funding, Council is able to prioritise and fast track projects for completion. In 2022, the Cassowary Coast Regional Council will gain access to an additional $1.47 million as part of Phase Three of LRCI Program.
Council will continue to provide updates on future projects.
