On Wednesday he announced that an additional $219,954 from the NSW Active Transport Program would be made available to Blayney Shire Council to complete the works, bringing the NSW Government’s commitment to the initiative to $414,613.

“Particularly from the highway to Lyndhurst Sports and Recreation Ground - now a popular campground which is attracting many visitors to the region.”
