Issued by Authority of the Minister for Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development
Subject – National Land Transport Act 2014
Roads to Recovery Funding Conditions 2019
The Roads to Recovery Funding Conditions 2019 determine the conditions under which payments will be made under the Roads to Recovery Program from 2019-20 to 2023-24 and the conditions with which funding recipients, mostly councils, must comply as they spend Roads to Recovery payments. The Roads to Recovery Funding Conditions 2019 were first determined on 19 March 2019.
This variation will boost the recognition of the Program in light of the recent increase in base funding for the program of $100 million a year in the 2019-20 Budget.
Funding recipients will be required to give relevant local Federal Members of Parliament the opportunity to participate in any media releases they plan to issue or events they plan to hold relating to any project funded under the Roads to Recovery Program.
Funding recipients will also be required to provide progress reports to relevant local Federal Members of Parliament in any quarter they are seeking a payment.
The instrument commences on the day after registration.
