"Improving their look is an important step in energizing local communities."
In a statement provided to the media the funding would be allocated to Dubbo from the Main Streets Revitalisation Fund, part of Labor's Regional Jobs Fund which will be established with the $4.1 billion in proceeds from the sale of the Snowy Hydro to the commonwealth.
Mr Veitch said Dubbo 'deserved an entrance to the city that locals and visitors can enjoy'.
"We regard this as an important investment, working with the local community to boost the local economy."
