The Spring Ridge community has welcomed the completion of the re-decking of the village's pedestrian footbridge.

The initiative has been funded as part of a raft of projects to be undertaken with $900,000 the Liverpool Plains Shire Council (LPSC) successfully obtained through the state government's Drought Stimulus Package.

"The project was undertaken following close consultation with key stakeholders from the local community advisory group," LPSC mayor Andrew Hope said.

"The upgrade to community infrastructure has the objective of providing economic stimulus to the Liverpool Plains shire by engaging local contractors while improving infrastructure that positively influences social and community sustainability."

Cr Hope said through the same funding, the replacement of the flooring and piers at Spring Ridge Community Hall would be undertaken with contractors Graham and Phillip Batho engaged to undertake the project.

"As defined in our Community Strategic Plan, LPSC aspires to have a great rural lifestyle with access to quality services, strong community, council and business leadership, while encouraging a thriving economy and a sustainable environment to carry us on to the future," he said.

"The funding through the Drought Stimulus Package has allowed council to expedite projects that will have long term benefits for our smaller communities, and we are grateful for the support given by state member, Michael Johnsen MP, in gaining the funding that will allow us the opportunity to do so."
