It Has Begun

Mayor Cr Katrina Humphries officiated at the sod turning ceremony the beginning of the infrastructure stage of the Moree Gateway development.

Mayor Cr Katrina Humphries said that the sod turning ceremony is a significant event in the 2014 Moree Plains Shire calendar as it is the official launch of the Moree Gateway Project infrastructure works.

“The sod turning ceremony is a very exciting occasion for the Moree Plains Shire because it marks the first steps of the Moree Gateway construction,” she said.

“We have been working very hard to get to this point and we can say finally the Gateway Project has officially begun.”

The Moree Gateway Project is designed to stimulate economic growth, create new jobs and ensure the future prosperity of the Moree Plains Shire by providing an iconic southern entry point to Moree.

“We should all be happy that the Gateway development has begun as it is intended to benefit us all,” the Mayor said.

The Moree Gateway is set to transform the southern Gateway to Moree, offering new and existing businesses the opportunity to take advantage of commercial and light industrial land with Newell Highway frontage and close proximity to the airport.
