The Victorian State Government is providing funds to upgrade local walking and cycling links.
Member for Macedon, Mary-Anne Thomas today announced that Macedon Ranges and Hepburn Shires will share in more than $1 million in funding for small-scale transport projects.
Ms Thomas said, “We’re backing local projects that make a real difference for communities in Macedon Ranges and Hepburn Shire Council areas because we know that better connections mean better opportunities.”
The State Government’s Flexible Local Transport Solutions Program provides funding to help seed small-scale initiatives across Victoria that meet local transport needs, integrate with other local transport options, and improve transport access.
Hepburn Shire Council’s Central Springs Road Daylesford – Missing Link Path Connection Project will be $90,750 to construct a 106-metre missing link footpath to provide a safer transport corridor along Central Springs Road in Daylesford. The new path will provide an off-road pedestrian connection within a key precinct which contains a Kindergarten, Child Care Centre, Primary School and the main street.
The Flexible Local Transport Solutions Program has supported more than 200 projects across Victoria that will better connect communities.
