Roads to Recovery funding flows in Mitchell

Federal Member for Mitchell, Alex Hawke MP, said the Hills Shire Council in the electorate of Mitchell will today receive their latest share of Australian Government $2.1 billion Roads to Recovery programme to assist with local road construction and maintenance.

The Australian Government is paying over $117 million to 297 local government authorities nationwide, including  $403,575 in Roads to Recovery Payments to the Hills Shire Council in Mitchell.

“Quarterly payments through the Roads to Recovery Programme allow councils across Australia to direct local road funding to where it is needed most,” Alex Hawke said.

“Our councils rely on Roads to Recovery funding for road projects chosen by the councils themselves, ensuring that local knowledge delivers the best local roads”, concluded Alex Hawke MP.

The Australian Government supports local governments to provide vital infrastructure and services through Financial Assistance Grants, Bridges Renewal, Black Spot and Roads to Recovery Programmes.
