Cardinia Shire Mayor Tammy Radford has expressed disappointment in a federal government decision to withdraw more than $100M in local roads funding.
The Council has received official confirmation that $109M in committed funding for the Sealing the Hills roads program has been discontinued and withdrawn.
Mayor Radford says design, environmental investigations and community consultation had already commenced, but delivery of numerous roads packages will now not be possible.
She said,”we are understandably devastated on behalf of our communities that we are now unable to deliver all road upgrades originally included in the program.”
