On March 5 Mr Baldwin announced the council would receive $613,000, its share of $2.1billion in Australian Government funds for community roads works.
Mr Baldwin said the quarterly Roads to Recovery program payments allowed councils across Australia to direct road funding to where it was needed most.
Great Lakes Council’s director of engineering services, Ron Hartley, said the $613,000 was payment for works already completed, including upgrade of one kilometre of Seal Rocks Road, worth $500,000.
This was finished in October 2014.
Additionally, $48,000 worth of works was carried out in Farnell Street at Nabiac, completed in December 2014, and $65,000 was spent on roadworks on Eastslope Way, North Arm Cove, completed in January 2015.
