Infrastructure investment laying the foundations for economic recovery in Murweh and Paroo
October 6, 2020Maranoa MP David Littleproud has secured over $18 million towards infrastructure investments in Murweh and Paroo in the 2020-21 Budget, as part the Coalition Federal Government’s Economic Recovery Plan for Australia.
“I’m proud to see our regional communities getting their fair share in this budget, with more than $18 million funding to flow to major infrastructure projects, to build our economy and secure Maranoa’s future.” Mr Littleproud said.
The Government’s record $110 billion transport infrastructure program will support local jobs and businesses at the time it is needed most.
“These councils in Maranoa will receive $17.7 million this financial year to build shovel-ready local priorities, through extensions to the Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program, Roads to Recovery Program and the Financial Assistance Grants,” Mr Littleproud said.
“Improving road safety is a core priority for the Government and that’s why we’re investing an additional $1 billion towards the Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program, which all Maranoa Councils will benefit from.
“This additional funding will drive community-led recovery by empowering local governments to deliver priority roads and community infrastructure to help communities bounce back from the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Paroo residents will also benefit from $390,000 towards a new bridge at Deep Water Creek under the Federal Government’s Bridges to Renewal Program.”
Total funding allocations for each councils under LRCIP, Roads to Recovery Program and Financial Assistance Grants:
Murweh Shire Council: $9,883,418
