Eden-Monaro MP Peter Hendy said the council was free to spend the untied grant funding on infrastructure, health, recreation, environment, employment and roads projects.
Dr Hendy said the Federal government was providing $2.3 billion to local government nationwide in 2014-15, including $8.1 million to councils in Eden-Monaro.
“The first quarterly payment for 2014-15 was made to councils in August 2014,” he said.
“I am looking forward to seeing our local councils target local priorities with this funding, along with additional funding provided under the $565 million Black Spot
and $2.1 billion Roads to Recovery programs.”
