EXPLANATORY STATEMENT – INSTRUMENT 2020/1
The Minister for Infrastructure, Transport 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, Instrument No. 2019/3 on 29 July 2019, Instrument No. 2019/4 on 27 September 2019, and Instrument No. 2019/5 made on 23 November 2019.
Under s.88(2A) of the National Land Transport Act 2014, the List may be varied to increase an amount specified for a person or body in the List. This variation allocates the balance of the Western Australia Aboriginal Access Roads and Special Bridge totalling $2,398,578.
Additionally, this variation reflects name changes and the abolition of the Roads and Maritime Services who now come under the umbrella of Transport for New South Wales; Nambucca Shire Council is now the Nambucca Valley Council and the Nipapanha Community Incorporated is now Nipapanha Community Aboriginal Corporation.
This instrument also corrects an administrative error incorrectly naming the Barunga West Council as the District Council of Barunga West.
The Instrument commences on the day after registration.
