The department's Round 2 funded projects list describes it this way:

> The project will enhance Urunga’s central business district for residents and visitors alike. It will upgrade pedestrian pathways, public spaces and the foreshores to create safer, more accessible and vibrant community spaces and strengthen connection of public assets such as the Library and Museum to the CBD and foreshore.
