300 Million in New Program Funding
On 18 November 2008, the Australian Government announced that it is making available $300 million to local government to stimulate growth and economic activity across Australia and support national productivity and community well-being.
One-off funding of $250 million in 2008-09 is being provided to local councils under the Regional and Local Community Infrastructure Program.
Additionally, under the Regional and Local Community Infrastructure Program - Strategic Projects, up to $50 million will be available to local government in 2008-09. Councils and shires will be required to meet guidelines in order to receive their share of the $250 million component.
Councils and shires will need to meet guidelines and go through a competitive process in order to have projects selected for funding under the $50 million component. See details at the following link.
