Deadline looms for council to allocate funding

Posted December 4, 2008 07:43:00

The Broken Hill City Council has until the end of next month to tell the Federal Government how it will spend $659,000.

The money came out of last month's local government conference in Canberra where councils shared $300 million for community infrastructure projects across Australia.

The projects must meet specific guidelines.

The council will put forward three projects - a storage facility for the regional art gallery, a stormwater detention basin at the old gas works site and work on the entertainment centre.
