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.
