More than $145 million in transport subsidies has been provided so far by the NSW Nationals in Government to help farmers with the costs of transporting fodder, water and stock.

The Nationals in Government are getting on with the job of building vital infrastructure across our Upper Hunter region.

Local sports clubs, charities, schools and museums are just some of the groups that benefit from this popular NSW Government program.

The Community Road Safety Grants Program aims to support community groups to work within our local communities on initiatives to keep everyone safe on the road.

These changes would ensure NSW has the toughest penalties in Australia for farm trespass, including new offences that exist in no other State or Territory. 

We’ve already delivered 302 Fixing Country Road projects, which support our freight industry by improving the connectivity of local roads, reducing the costs to business and driving economic growth in the regions.
