Strathbogie Shire Council will push for a reinvestment of Commonwealth Games funds into road and bridge projects in rural and regional shires.
The council will vote on a recommended advocacy position at tonight’s Council meeting.
Mayor Laura Binks said she understands and supports the value of sporting facilities, but that communities need safe roads to get them there.
She said the council was advocating directly and via the MAV, and that $2B in savings from the Commonwealth Games could make a huge difference to the road network right across Victoria.
