$3.5M For Carrigan Rd – A Step Towards Economic Prosperity & Road Safety

Moree Plains Shire Council Mayor Katrina Humphries commended Ministers Pavey and Marshall on their significant contribution to the road sealing project “Council has been committed to sealing Carrigan Rd for many years, but given the cost to seal the 56km section is around $15 million, there is no way Council could undertake the project without support from the State or Federal Governments”. It will ensure that kids can get to school safely, and farm employees can get to and from work.” Councillor Humphries however noted that Council will continue pursuing other funding avenues for the project, as the $3.5m from the NSW Department of Roads, Maritime and Freight will only provide for sealing of approximately 13km of the road, still leaving 43km unsealed. “We know we’ve got a way to go to deliver the full 56 kilometres required to truly unleash the economic potential of the properties on Carrigan Rd and ensure our communities stay connected and safe, but this is a great start.”     Carrigan Road (MR507) provides a strategic connection from the Newell Hwy in Goondiwindi through to Boomi and Mungindi, as well as access to a large number of agricultural properties and residences.
