Among them, a new accessibility path dedicated to the Harding family, whose disabled son passed away before Christmas.
“Their the sort of human element to when we talk about these maintenance projects. These are the families that we’re helping in communities like Lismore and there’s more to come.”
“From a jobs perspective it’s great for local tradies. The guys here at Lismore Public were local Goonellabah concreters.”
