Murrumbateman, Yass, and surrounding towns to benefit from Highway upgrade

Ray White Rural Canberra, Yass, and Murrumbateman are pleased to share a comprehensive white paper detailing the anticipated benefits of the Barton Highway duplication for regional towns, particularly Murrumbateman and Yass.

The Barton Highway serves as a crucial link for numerous small towns, providing access to essential services and economic opportunities. The planned upgrade will have far-reaching benefits, particularly for towns poised for growth and development.

Murrumbateman is fast transforming into a thriving community.?

“The bypass will divert heavy traffic, making the town more liveable and boosting property values. This will enhance its appeal as a destination for both new residents and tourists, particularly those interested in its renowned cool climate wine region,” Mr Southwell said.?

Yass Valley too is forecast to welcome increasing development.

“Yass Valley, comprising several towns including Gundaroo and Sutton, stands to gain from improved road safety and reduced congestion. The highway upgrade will support population growth projections and drive new housing developments, making it a more attractive place to live and invest.”

“Improved connectivity will enhance the quality of life for residents, making daily commutes safer and more efficient. The highway duplication will support regional growth by attracting more people to the area, driving demand for local businesses, and fostering a stronger community spirit.”

Mr Southwell says the positive changes the Barton Highway duplication will bring to these towns will help to unlock their full potential and improve livability for residents.
