IMPROVING OUR STORMWATER INFRASTRUCTURE
Stormwater infrastructure in north and south Fyshwick will receive much-needed improvements with $3.8 million allocated in the 2007-08 ACT Budget, Minister for Territory and Municipal Services, John Hargreaves announced today.

“The existing stormwater system in Fyshwick, constructed in the early 1970s, has limited capacity and can only accommodate minor storm events,” said Mr Hargreaves.

“As Canberra continues to grow and expand, the ACT Government is working to ensure that ageing infrastructure meets the needs of the community and business.

“The Government is committed to providing the best possible infrastructure to ensure that businesses are able to operate in the best possible environment,” said Mr Hargreaves.
