Covid-19 Update
The ongoing Covid-19 crisis has meant that the Uranquinty Community Hall can only be used in a very limited way for small gatherings where social distancing practices must be carried out. Many of our regular activities are currently on hold until the situation eases and we will advise the community as more information comes to hand.
COVID-19 SAFETY PLAN If you are interested in hiring our Community Hall, please make sure you read the Safety Plan developed by Wagga Wagga City Council and Uranquinty Progress Association.

DUNNS ROAD UPDATE The dangerous Dunns Road in desperate need of an upgrade is now fully-funded with hope of shovels in the ground by the end of the year. It was about eight months ago when an $8.3 million upgrade of the controversial road was given the green light for a long-awaited coating of bitumen along its full length. A $5.8 million grant from the federal government was added to the $2.5 million from Wagga City Council to seal the five-kilometre road. Photo and text supplied by Daily Advertiser, 29 July 2020

A Walk around Quinty in the sun
Our thanks to June Geaghan for all the photos Uranquinty has been featured as a desirable place to live - have a look at this recent story on Prime 7 News: https://www.facebook.com/prime7newswagga/videos/4428669313824965 Dunns Road (Cont'd) Wagga council's general manager Peter Thompson said the council always intended to contribute $2.5 million towards the upgrade and now it has found a means to source the money. "The funding is sorted and the surveyors are out there right now," he said. Mr Thompson said the project will bring the road up to standard and maintain the safety for the community that frequently uses the road. "So we aren't looking to build a new freeway out there. It is something between what is there right now, which is not good, and something that is safe and serviceable and we won't have to go back there in the near future," he said. The city's councillors endorsed applying for Low Cost Loans Initiative funding towards the Dunns Road upgrade project at Monday 29 July Council meeting. The state government's loans initiative provides a 50 per cent interest subsidy on projects that meet the criteria under their program. |
