WHILE Moyne Shire welcomed the $11.1 million commitment from incumbent Wannon MP and Liberal Party candidate, Dan Tehan to upgrade some of its remote roads, Mayor Ian Smith has called on all Federal candidates to match a further commitment for critical dairy farming roads in the Shire.

The funding announced by Mr Tehan on Monday was under the Remote Roads Upgrade Pilot Program, and is money in the bank to upgrade 31.35 kilometres of roads in the Woorndoo and Chatsworth area over a two-year period.
