A $500 million fund to fix potholes across NSW has been welcomed by several regional mayors who say roads are crucial for their towns to function.
Major flooding in the state's central west and elsewhere has severely damaged regional road networks, at times disrupting harvest, freight and other major industries.
NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet announced the funding for 128 councils at a roundtable with local mayors in Molong on Tuesday, with $280 million for the regions and $220 million for metropolitan areas.
