Today I announced that 68 local sport and recreation groups will share in more than $2 million in funding from the 2012 Sport and Recreation Grants Program (SRGP).
Over the last five years I have announced more than $11 million of SRGP funding to organisations which are focused on increasing participation opportunities in a wide variety of sport and recreational activities.
Traffic lights at the intersection of Majura Avenue and Phillip Avenue in Hackett were turned on today to help improve traffic flow and safety, and also reduce ‘rat running’ through the inner north suburbs of Hackett, Watson and Dickson.
The lights will be particularly welcome news for residents living in Hackett, Watson and Dickson, who have experienced significant traffic congestion in recent times caused by north Canberra traffic using the suburban streets on the daily commute.
