In an announcement made yesterday the far west mining community will receive $2.1 million for upgrades to the shire's sewerage system.

It is also in line to gain a further $2.4 million for refurbishments to the local airport runway and $5 million to help replace 130km of twin pipelines from Cobar to Nyngan to help reduce water losses and system failures.

Barwon State MP Kevin Humphries said the sewerage upgrade complimented the water upgrade package from last year's funding round, would now ensuring Cobar's town water supply is fully upgraded.

"This is on top of the $10 million allocated to upgrade the Nyngan weir pool to increase water security for Cobar and an additional $5 million to commence the replacement of the Nyngan - Cobar water pipeline."

Mr Humphries said the Cobar Airport upgrade would secure multiple aircraft's ability to land locally, which was a project council had been working on for some time.

"There are charters flying in regularly and we are continuing to work on securing a regular passenger service."

Cobar was second only to Narrabri in the latest round of funding, which topped the beneficiaries list from the latest round of funding.

Mr Humphries' electorate received a total of $18.2 million to complete a $12.3 million water augmentation project and a $5.9 million expansion of the airport.

Mr Humphries said the Narrabri region had experienced a number of challenges related to growth, but was confident funding would help steer the electorate in the right direction.

"With growth there are always challenges, and in Narrabri particularly housing expansion is limited off the back of inefficient water infrastructure," Mr Humphries said.

More than $75 million has been allocated to four local government areas since the Resources for Regions program was announced in 2013.

Mr Humphries said in 2014-15, mining communities would have even more opportunity to state their case for financial support with enhanced funding selection criteria.

"While our focus has always been on priority needs first, we value community feedback and this has played an essential part in ensuring government remains flexible in its approach," he said.
