“There was a strong level of interest from our local communities for the $400,000 in available funds across the electorate,” Mr Constance said.

“The Bega Electorate had 52 Community Building Partnership applications, with a total funding request in excess of $2.4 million.

“Local businesses and construction jobs will benefit as community infrastructure is built and upgraded across the Eurobodalla.

“It’s been a privilege to support community projects that make a real difference to our region.”
