Darling Street Footpath Upgrade

/by

Wentworth Shire Council has been successful in obtaining funding through Resources for Regions Round 9, for the replacement of footpaths in the Wentworth shopping precinct.


This area has been identified as a priority upgrade, due to root systems of trees in Darling Street causing the footpath to become a safety hazard for pedestrians. The key aim of the project is to upgrade the surface and improve the community safety, and create a well-used connective pathway for all residents & tourists in the Wentworth community.

Attend a pop-up information session:

Thursday 2 May 2024, 10:00am – 1:30pm

Darling Street, Wentworth

Friday 3 May 2024, 10:00am – 1:30pm

Wentworth Memorial Rooms, 66 Darling Street, Wentworth

A concept plan of the proposed works can be viewed below or during a pop-up information session.

Flood Experience Survey

/by

Were you affected by flooding between August 2022 and March 2023? Natural Hazards Research Australia currently has an online survey looking for the Wentworth Shire community to share their flood experiences. Submissions also have the chance to win one of ten $150 Woolworths vouchers. 

Every story is important as there were a wide range of flood impacts. Not everyone who was affected will have had water in their home or business. You may have chosen to spend the night away due to flood concerns, or perhaps your access roads were cut off by floodwaters and you were isolated for a period of time – all of these experiences are relevant.   

Be part of improving preparedness and response for floods and reduce future flood risk. 

This independent research is conducted by Natural Hazards Research Australia with RMIT, Macquarie University, Monash University and will aid in improving community safety and resilience in future floods.
