Improving the safety and quality of our roads
Cumberland Council has published its first ever Draft Operational Plan for 2016/17 which includes a substantial investment in quality public infrastructure, particularly through the maintenance and upgrade of roads.
A subtotal of $77,750,239 will be invested into capital works in 2016/17. The majority of the infrastructure work will focus on improving roads with $12,315,216 being allocated for this purpose. This funding will cover a comprehensive collection of road upgrades including reconstructions, pavement resurfacing, minor and major patching, kerb and gutter replacement and drainage improvements.
The capital works plan includes a number of projects including: a $541,000 reconstruction of half a kilometre of road pavement on Park Road, Berala; $371,000 of reseal works at Veron Street, Wentworthville; and $433,000 of road pavement reconstruction at Church Street which will increase accessibility to the local sports precinct which includes Lidcombe Oval, Auburn Basketball Centre, PCYC Auburn and the Ruth Everuss Aquatic Centre which is currently undergoing a major upgrade.
