Bathurst MP Paul Toole has announced the Mid Western Regional Council will receive $15,000, on top of the Councils commitment of $30,000, to commence stage one of improvements to the 7km path.
“Walking and cycling are viewed as a vital component of the Kandos & Rylstone community; allowing a cost effective, non-discriminatory mode of transport for all users” Mr Toole said.
“The path also benefits those with mobility impairments and those who do not have access to a car.”
“This is a popular track that is used by walkers, cyclists and families, in promoting a healthy and active lifestyle” he said.
The Mudgee Guardian spoke to Mid-Western Regional Council General Manager, Brad Cam about the upgrades.
“This funding will allow us to complete the first stage of the pathway upgrade from Kandos Sewer Treatment Plant to Kandos Township,” he said.
“Council recognises this pathway is well-used by pedestrians and cyclists and continues to seek grant funding such as this to make further improvements.”
“No further works to the pathway are scheduled until after the upgrade of the Sewer Treatment Plant.”
