GRANT SUCCESS
Council has successfully secured $509,300 in funding through the State Government's 2020-21 Open Space and Places for People Grant programs for the following projects:
- Wallaroo to Moonta Walking and Cycling Shared Path ($418,000)
- Queen Square Activation Project ($91,300)
Council will also contribute $532,000 for the shared path and $139,375 for Queen Square, and Council will also project manage both projects.
The funding received is for 7.5km of the trail, with the shared path between Wallaroo and Moonta to connect to the Wallaroo to Kadina path, joining all three towns and creating better accessibility and physical activity facilities.
The funding for Queen Square is only for better accessible paths and a new Disability Discrimination Act compliant toilet facility.
We thank the State Government for the funding for these important projects identified by the Copper Coast community.
