Cabramatta will benefit from a $ 41,000 grant for
new traffic signals and modifications to channelisation

Road East. The Prime Minister and Member for Werriwa, Mr Gough
Whitlam, announced that the funds would be made availalbe
through the Minor Traffic Engineering and Road Safety
Improvements category of the Roads Grants Act. He said
that it was known that correction of known hazardous
locations was an effective and low-cost method of
improving road safety, and the Cabramatta grant was part
of the Australian Government's comprehensive policy
for the improvement of all aspects of the road transport system,
especially in relation to road safety.
Mr Whitlam said that the Cabramatta grant was part
of the $ 2,600,000 being made available to New South Wales

State will receive a total of $ 8,080,000 for such works
over the period 1974/ 75 to 1976/ 77.
