EXPLANATORY STATEMENT – INSTRUMENT 2019/4
The Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Cities and Regional Development determined allocations for the Roads to Recovery Program, to run from 1 July 2019 to 30 June 2024, on 31 October 2018 (see Roads to Recovery List 2019). The list was amended by Instrument No. 2019/2 on 1 July 2019 and Instrument No. 2019/3 on 29 July 2019.
In that List, at Schedule 2, is $25,588,063 for Western Australia. Western Australia has now provided a list of projects for funding under the Indigenous access roads and bridges components of the program totalling $23,189,485 which is reflected in this instrument.
The project lists are prepared by the Western Australian Local Government Grants Commission (WALGGC), in consultation with the Western Australian Local Government Association and Main Roads WA, and are provided by the Western Australian Minister for Local Government; Heritage; Culture and the Arts.
Instrument 2019/4 amends the list to allocate $23,189,485 of the available funds to various councils, leaving $2,398,578 still to be allocated.
The remainder of the funding will be allocated once new projects have been determined by WALGGC.
The Instrument commences on the day after registration.
