Budget 2021-22: Delivering Australia’s water future
The Government is continuing to deliver on a National Water Grid to help improve water security in our regions.
The 2021-22 Budget invests up to a further $258 million, including up to $160 million through the National Water Grid Connections pathway, from the $3.5 billion National Water Grid Fund towards the construction of new and augmented water infrastructure projects, building a more resilient and secure Australia.
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development Michael McCormack said the Federal Government was investing $75.7 million towards an additional four new construction projects.
“This will deliver increased water security, build resilience in our regions, deliver jobs and grow our critical agriculture sector,” the Deputy Prime Minister said.
