Ministerial media release
The NSW Government is rolling out a $3.5 million support package to assist small businesses and councils across the Blue Mountains and Central West region impacted by the closure of the Great Western Highway at Victoria Pass.
Since the closure of the road due to serious cracking and safety concerns, the NSW Government has been working with businesses, local councils and communities to understand the nature of the impacts and determine the most practical way to support those most acutely affected.
This support package will provide financial assistance in the immediate short-term, and advisory services to help businesses manage ongoing disruptions while the closure remains in place.
