State, territory and local governments can now apply for funding under the latest round of the Safer Local Roads Infrastructure Program (SLRIP).
The Australian Government program provides $200 million each year through SLRIP for projects that address critical road safety upgrades in communities throughout Australia.
Applicants can seek up to $5 million per project. They must also contribute to the overall project cost.
Examples of projects that may be eligible to receive funding under the program include:
- improving road safety including road realignment, shoulder sealing, safety barriers and median changes
- widening and sealing roads, including for heavy vehicle access
- replacement and/or strengthening of bridges, culverts, and causeways
- upgrading/raising of roads to improve flood resilience
- additional road linkages between communities to reduce risk of isolation during an emergency
- construction of new or upgraded heavy vehicle rest areas.
A list of successful projects under SLRIP can be access here.
