Mining communities in the Hunter will be seeing more in the coffers after a broadening of the State Government's Resources for Regions program.
$160 million has been allocated for approved projects in the region over a four year period.
The program is seen as a recognition of the unique pressures on key infrastructure in mining areas including Singleton and Muswellbrook.
Singleton Mayor, John Martin welcomes the program as a boost to vital mining communities in the Hunter.
