The Mid-Murray Council has outlined 13 projects it wishes to undertake though the $1 Million dollar federal government drought communities program.

Big ticket items include A district-wide footpath replacement and rejuvenation project worth $250,000, $150,000 to fix aging standpipes to cut water loss as well as an $300 000 upgrade of public toilets in Truro.

Among some of the other projects included painting of the swan reach hall, as well as Restoration of the Mount Mary Hall to the tune of $30,000.

Mid Murray Mayor Dave Burgess said the projects would deliver multiple benefits across the district at a time when the local area is feeling the effects of years of drought.
