The funding is part of the country’s Fixing Country Roads program and aims to help remove bottlenecks that constrain logistic businesses and protect NSW against the spread of weeds and disease.

A total of 26 truck wash facilities, including the Northern Rivers Livestock Exchange in the NSW town of Casino, will benefit from the subsidy.

The Australian and New South Wales governments are funding the project on a 50/50 split.
