Region. Support with reservations

The Western Sydney Regional Organisation of Councils (WSROC) strongly supports the federal government’s policy of getting people back to work. “(It) had provided lots of incentives to go back to work, but very few enabling mechanisms,” said WSROC president, Alison McLaren. “The decision to defer infrastructure funding would also impact on some people’s ability to rejoin the workforce. As always, transport remains a critical factor in people’s ability to get to and from work and find employment and Western Sydney is among the most poorly serviced regions in Australia,” she said.
