Hon Kristy McBain Visits Moora

In early September we were thrilled to welcome to Moora the Hon Kristy McBain MP, Minister for Regional Development, Local Government and Territories.

Hon McBain visited key projects in Moora with Shire CEO Gavin Robins and Shire President Tracy Lefroy, including:

** The Early Childhood Learning Centre & Wheatbelt Kids Institute

** The Swimming Pool Refurbishment

** Koojan West Road upgrade

** Moora Aerodrome Emergency Services and Safety Upgrade

Minister McBain confirmed that $800,000 in federal funding is flowing to Moora’s new childhood education and health centre.

In addition, the Government is working with the Shire of Moora to improve the safety of local roads across the Northern Wheatbelt, with over $4.1 million in Roads to Recovery funding flowing to Council over the next five years, a boost of over $1.7 million.

Hon McBain said, “from improving access to early education services, to making rural roads safer for the heavy vehicles that underpin the Northern Wheatbelt’s major agricultural sector – funding increases from the Albanese Government are getting local priority projects off the ground in this region.

“It’s fantastic to be in town, to see local-led projects progressing, and to discuss the Shire of Moora’s forward priorities – because when we work together, we get the best outcomes for our regional communities.”
