Federal funding to build a new two-lane roundabout at the intersection of Byron Bay Road and Byron Street, Lennox Head has been pledged by local MP Justine Elliot (Labor).
She says it will cost $1,533,144 and is funded as part of the Australian government’s Black Spot Program.
‘We all know how risky and dangerous it can be driving in and out of Lennox. Our community has been calling for this roundabout – and Labor is delivering!’, Mrs Elliot said.
‘As your strong voice in the Albanese Labor government, I’m proud to announce this important funding to fix this dangerous intersection’.
