Federal Member for Eden-Monaro, Kristy McBain, alongside Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council Mayor, Kenrick Winchester – will tomorrow announce $3 million from the Albanese Labor Government towards a precinct renewal in the heart of Braidwood, boosting the town’s liveability and visitor economy.
The project will support the construction of a new off-street car park nearby local cafes and tourist attractions, along with the installation of water and sewer infrastructure at an adjacent block – laying the foundations for future site development.
Federal Member for Eden-Monaro, Kristy McBain Speaking in Braidwood.
Well, it’s great to be in Braidwood today. We’ve got a $3 million announcement which will make a huge difference to car parking and traffic movement in this fantastic tourist location. We know community members and business owners have told us that they want more parking in Braidwood. So the Albanese Labor government is working with Queanbeyan-palerang Regional Council to deliver more car parks right here in Braidwood, which will free up those Main Street car parks for tourists. We want to make sure that not only is there a pedestrian connection to the main street, but there is a vehicular connection as well, and this car park will make all of the difference. We’re very excited about this project, bringing a long talked about community wish to fruition. Working with the local council. I’m incredibly proud to be here today to deliver this commitment. $3 million for more car parking in Braidwood.
