The New South Wales Government has allocated $9 million to seal the final stretch of Rangari Road in the Narrabri Shire.
The funding, from the Rural and Regional Roads Fund, will allow Narrabri Shire Council to seal the last 9.6 kilometres of the road, the missing link that connects the Tamworth, Gunnedah and Narrabri local government areas.
Once complete, Rangari Road will be fully sealed, improving safety, reducing maintenance, and providing a smoother route for locals, farmers, freight operators and emergency services.
The upgrade will cut dust, improve traction and reduce potholes, making travel safer and easier year-round, particularly in wet weather when unsealed roads can become impassable.

“This funding will seal the final stretch of Rangari Road, making a real difference for locals, freight and emergency services who rely on it every day,” said Aitchison.
