MAJOR INFRASTRUCTURE FUNDING BOOST TO SUPPORT 14,500 NEW HOMES FOR WAGGA

The NSW Government and Wagga Wagga City Council will together invest a further $70.8 million to fast-track infrastructure supporting the delivery of new homes for the Wagga Wagga community.

As regional NSW plans for and delivers more homes to its growing communities, the NSW Government and councils are supporting that growth by funding and upgrading critical local services and infrastructure.

The funds will accelerate key projects to unlock development and bring high-quality neighbourhoods to life faster.

Of the total investment made across the state, $137.19 million has been allocated through the NSW Government’s Accelerated Infrastructure Fund, with co-contributions of $64.7 million from five regional councils.

Unless we support the delivery of more homes, we will continue to lock young people out of housing or Lose them to other states.

In Wagga Wagga, the following projects have received funding.

Plumpton Road North – $24.9 million

Duplication of the Plumpton Road corridor between Lake Albert Road and Gregadoo Road, six intersection upgrades and associated storm water infrastructure. The infrastructure will support the release of residential land within the Southern Growth Area for 2,750 homes which will provide residential accommodation to meet the projected population growth.

Plumpton Road South – $24.67 million
