NSW, SA and Victoria have snagged the lion’s share of infrastructure spending in the latest federal budget.
As revealed in the 2021 budget, the government is committing an additional $15.2 billion to infrastructure projects over the next ten years. This will bump the total federal commitment to $110 billion, with the additional spending said to account for 30,000 new jobs over the decade.
At a federal level, both the Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program and Road Safety Program are being extended for another year at the cost of $1 billion each.

Works to start on Derrinallum public toilet project
A high priority community project to replace Derrinallum’s public toilets will start Tuesday 11 May and finish in July.
The new toilet block will be constructed off site and installed on the site of the existing toilet in the town avenue.
Temporary public toilets will be available in the avenue while the project is underway.
The new facility has two separate male and female toilets, a unisex ambulant toilet, and a unisex accessible toilet with baby change table.
Mayor Ruth Gstrein said the condition of the existing toilet block and structural concerns warranted replacement.
