Muswellbrook Shire Council draft Delivery Program and Special Rate Variation is now on display for community consultation.
$25 million is expected to be spent on a number of town upgrades under the new program.
Some of the projects include the addition of new recreational facilities, road upgrades and drainage renewal.
The Program is anticipated to be jointly funded by Council and residents, however, ratepayers could be expected to foot a little more of the bill.
The Delivery Program could see additional projects be undertaken which would be funded by a Special Rate Variation of 2.5% each year for 4 years.
Additional projects include a Regional Convention and Performance Centre, upgrades of Muswellbrook Aquatic Centre and the revitalisation of Denman Town Centre.
Residents are being encouraged to provide feedback through the mail, email or on Facebook.
