THE Federal Government has announced more than $20 million in funding to boost housing and community infrastructure in the Bendigo region.<\/p>\n

The City of Greater Bendigo has been allocated $11.3 million via the Government’s Housing Support Program to upgrade three sewer pump stations in Marong and construct six kilometres of rising mains along the Calder Highway.<\/p>\n

This project will ‘unlock’ 2369 homes.<\/p>\n

“The funding provided to the City of Greater Bendigo to improve sewage in one of the city’s vital growth corridors is a common sense and practical project,” Member for Bendigo Lisa Chesters said.<\/p>\n

“This investment from the government is another demonstration of how committed (we are) to Bendigo and Central Victoria, working with local government to deliver crucial infrastructure.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Mount Alexander Shire Council will receive $12.19 million through the regional Precincts and Partnerships Program to redevelop Frederick Street\/Mechanics Lane in Castlemaine.<\/p>\n

This will include improvements to pedestrian zones, public safety, underground infrastructure and streetscaping, and connect the Town Centre Precinct to the Railway Precinct.<\/p>\n

“We want to see more housing and more quality community led infrastructure where people need it most,” Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government Catherine King said.<\/p>\n

“These important projects in Marong and Castlemaine demonstrate our commitment to listening to local voices and investing in the projects that matter in our regions.”<\/p>\n

Further information on both the Housing Support<\/a> and Precincts and Partnership<\/a> Programs are available on the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications and the Arts website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
