The Coalition Government is investing a record $50 billion in Australia’s land infrastructure – to improve road and rail links, build dams and pipelines and support economic growth.

The Roads to Recovery funding for local roads has been increased by 83%, to $3.2 billion over the next four years and $500 million has been allocated to fix road black spots, along with $300 million for the Bridges Renewal Programme. As well as $248 million for the Heavy Vehicle Safety and Productivity Programme for road upgrades on key freight routes to make them safer and boost productivity; the Coalition’s commitment to the Inland Rail will transform freight movements through Victoria, NSW and South East Queensland and stimulate growth and prosperity in these regions.
