I rise to bring to the attention of the House the good news that two new bridges and road approaches are now open to the public in the Lyne electorate: Dickinson bridge at Moto and Dyers Crossing bridge are now both open to traffic. They have been built three months ahead of schedule, with $10 million in funds from the Commonwealth government, from the Community Development Grants fund and $1.4 million from Taree Council. They were due for completion in October. This project had been well ahead of time and on budget. Greater Taree City Council has managed the project well with the help of Delaney Civil contractors and GHD as project managers. They are all to be congratulated. It means that heavy vehicles, dairy and beef carters can now access, as well as commuters— (Time expired)
