Richmond Valley Council has secured $78,196 funding for the West Street, Casino, footpath project.
The footpath, which is used by primary and high school students, will be improved for safety and accessibility.
The project involves the replacement of 120 metres of footpath between North and Pratt streets with a new 1.8 metre wide concrete path and the construction of 62 metres of footpath between Pratt and Johnston streets.
The funding is from the State Government Get NSW Active program, which supports local councils to create safe and enjoyable walking and bike riding experiences.
