$3.5 million in upgrades under Roads to Home

Aboriginal communities at Condobolin in the state's Central West are partnering with the NSW Liberal and Nationals Government on $3.5 million in planned infrastructure upgrades to support social, economic and employment benefits for the area.

Minister for Planning and Homes Anthony Roberts said the investment under the Roads to Home program will lay new foundations for advancement.

"This $3.5 million investment will see upgrades at two Aboriginal communities, Condobolin at Willow Bend where work is now underway, and Boona Road which is pending development application approvals," Mr Roberts said.

"Planned work includes repairs and upgrades to roads and guttering, stormwater drainage, asbestos removal and also improvements to streetlighting, electricity, sewerage and phone and internet connections."

Condobolin Local Aboriginal Land Council Community Liaison Officer Aimee Davis said the land council is managing the project in partnership with the Department of Planning and Environment which administers the Roads to Home program as part of the 2022-2023 NSW Liberal and Nationals Government Housing Package.
