The Prime Minister has announced $5 million for planning for the Nowra Riverfront Precinct.
“We’ve listened to the people of Shoalhaven, and today we are announcing $5 million for the Nowra Riverfront Precinct, a new mixed-use hub that will reconnect Nowra city centre with the Shoalhaven River waterfront”, Anthony Albanese said.
The new precinct will transform Nowra for locals and visitors alike, shaping the future of the town and strengthening its role as the civic and tourism centre for the Shoalhaven region.
It will create an integrated space, incorporating parklands, accommodation, areas for commercial and social activities, as well as active transport links.
Today’s investment is supporting a precinct masterplan, detailed designs for the central open space, drainage, an access road, and a business case. It will help complete the planning, while early delivery of public space improvements will encourage private investment and renewal of the surrounding area.
“The project showcases the Government’s commitment to listening to, and working with, local communities, and addressing regional need”, the Prime Minister said.
It is funded through the Albanese Government’s regional Precincts and Partnership Program, which provides investment to transform regional, rural and remote places.
