[PRESS RELEASE] Enhancing liveability of little towns through Barton Highway duplication

Local agent predicts Barton Highway upgrade will enhance livability in regional towns

The latest white paper from Ray White Rural Canberra, Yass, and Murrumbateman highlights how the Barton Highway duplication project will significantly enhance the liveability of the towns it serves.?

“Improving road infrastructure is crucial to the liveability of a region, impacting everything from daily commutes to the attractiveness of an area for new residents and visitors. The Barton Highway duplication addresses long-standing issues of congestion and safety, promising a higher quality of life for residents,” local agent George Southwell said.?

Safety and accessibility will make the region far more attractive in the future, making developers more inclined to invest in housing for the region.?

“The upgrade includes the construction of a central median, upgraded intersections, and property access roads, all aimed at reducing traffic accidents and improving overall road safety. Residents can look forward to safer and more efficient travel, enhancing their day-to-day experiences,” Mr Southwell said.?

“As the highway improves, Murrumbateman and Yass are expected to see a surge in housing development. With projections showing significant population growth, the demand for new housing is set to rise, providing opportunities for local builders and developers. Improved accessibility makes these towns attractive options for those seeking a balance between regional living and city services.”

“The duplication will also support community growth by reducing travel times and making the region more appealing for both permanent residents and tourists. This will lead to a more vibrant local economy and a stronger sense of community as more people choose to settle and invest in the area.”
