The NSW Government will be helping to bring to life Cowra’s Open Space Legacy Project with just under $2 million awarded from the Public Spaces Legacy Program. Member for Cootamundra Steph Cooke announced a $1,999,680 grant for Cowra Shire Council from the program, which will enhance public spaces across the shire through the following projects:
- Lachlan River Recreation Linkage
- Cowra CBD and Peace Precinct Art Project
- Village Signage Project
- Aboriginal Art Installation and Landscape Project.
Steph Cooke MP said the NSW Govern-ment was supporting the council to create a legacy of quality, green and acces-sible public space to be treasured for generations to come.
Mayor of Cowra Shire Council Bill West said the project would help celebrate local history and culture, as well as com-pleting our existing beautiful open spaces.
Cowra Shire Council will be provided with funding for project planning and design and will have until 30 June 2021 to demonstrate they have met DA assessment performance improvements to lock in their full allocation of funding, ahead of construction starting on projects from August this year.
