Coalition will prioritise more infrastructure for Wollondilly

Monday, 13 May 2019

Angus Taylor says Wollondilly will continue to receive major Federal infrastructure backing if the Coalition is returned to government.

“Our record of delivery is strong,” Mr Taylor said.

“The Coalition is investing billions of dollars in infrastructure projects in Hume to boost the local economy and improve the communities where we live and work.

“Safety works on the Argyle Street and Menangle Street intersection in the heart of Picton will be one of the next big items to be delivered, along with the Matthews Creek Bridge replacement at Thirlmere.”
