The long-awaited Bega to Tathra cycleway is set to become a reality with $3 million set aside in the NSW Budget this week.
Member for Bega, Andrew Constance said, “I am so excited to confirm the funds to build this important project.”
“This will not only better connect two of our great communities it will also provide a fantastic tourism driver and give the region a further economic boost.”
The money will go to Bega Valley Shire Council to work with the community and stakeholders to design, plan and construct the much-anticipated path.
The Bega – Tathra money was the largest part of a big splash of cash for local cycleways.
Other money announced by NSW Treasurer, Dominic Perrottet included:
- $2 million for a shared pathway from Rotary Park in Merimbula to Merimbula Wharf.
- Construction of 660 metres of shared path in Moruya along Bergalia Street.
- Construction of almost 500 metres of shared path in Narooma along the northern end of McMillan Road.
