Minister for Water, Property and Housing Melinda Pavey said a total of $72.47 million had now been allocated to 892 projects at 189 showgrounds, after five rounds of the stimulus program.
"In this latest round, $16.7 million has been provided for 97 projects at 46 showgrounds in NSW," Mrs Pavey said.
The projects include the rebuilding of grandstands, pavilions, arenas and stables, and the upgrading of kitchen and amenities blocks, lighting and electrical systems, water and sewerage networks, and roads.
"Showground upgrades improve the quality of community infrastructure while stimulating local economies, with work for tradies and materials suppliers," she said.
"These investments will ensure showgrounds can continue to serve their communities for many years to come, while building a stronger and safer regional NSW.
