Operating 24 hours a day, businesses like Eagle Boys Cowra have been manning the old caravan but individuals can volunteer their time to help motorists stay safe on the road, assistant coordinator Russell Denning said.
"The average age of community groups is getting older and it is becoming harder to get volunteers. This year there is a group called "Volunteers," these are individuals that group together to volunteer their time without being part of a known community group."
There are currently 12 community groups that make up "Cowra Driver Reviver Incorporated", but more volunteer groups are required, Mr Denning said.
"A few have been working hard behind the scenes to get a permanent driver reviver building and I can say that it is very close, so close an announcement will be made this month.
"No longer will there be a caravan that is well passed its use by date."
Plans are being finalised thanks to Design West, two submissions for grants have been successful and the fundraising continues with thanks to Woolworths and Cowra Muffler Centre.
"The original target has been reached, but all things have increased in costs.
"There are another two grant submissions that finish this month and if either of them is granted there will be enough to not only build the building but to fully equip with cupboards, heaters, fridges stainless steel benches - everything new."
Anyone can volunteer to help with serving tea, coffee, milo and biscuits to help motorists Stop, Revive, Survive."
