By Lachlan Ellis<\/p>\n

The Federal Budget has been released, and as with most Budgets, there are benefits for Moorabool, and areas where we may miss out.<\/p>\n

The last few years have seen an ambitious campaign from Council, seeking Federal and State Government funding for a range of projects and programs, and this year is no exception.<\/p>\n

Moorabool Shire Mayor, Cr Tom Sullivan, told the Moorabool News Council has several applications currently before the Federal Government for consideration, which they hope will be successful.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese include funding for the sports precinct in Bacchus Marsh through the Regional Infrastructure Fund 2021, and for the upgrade of the Bacchus Marsh-Balliang Road Upgrade Project as part of the Remote Roads Upgrade Pilot Program,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe $812 million over five years provided for expanding digital mobile coverage in regional Australia is also most welcome, as this is much needed for Moorabool Shire. The $500 million extension of the Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program will assist councils to build more libraries, sporting facilities and footpaths, and deliver important road upgrades to improve safety.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, Cr Sullivan said Council was disappointed by a lack of Federal funding for disaster prevention, and a decrease in funding for roads.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe would have liked to have seen some budget support for disaster prevention, as this could potentially cost our communities more as we face the likely event of frequent and severe natural disasters in the future,\u201d Cr Sullivan said.<\/p>\n
