Australia’s Federal Infrastructure Budget for 2021
The Australian government has announced an additional $15.2 billion in new infrastructure funding in the 2021-22 Budget to help aid economic recovery from the CCP virus pandemic.
The additional funding adds to the $110 billion 10-year building plan investment that already formed part of the National Economic Recovery Plan which the government says will support around 30,000 jobs across the country.
Nation-building projects were the focus of the infrastructure spending, with a $1 billion boost for the Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program, bringing the total commitment to $2.5 billion, and another $1 billion to the now $3 billion Road Safety Program.

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.

A nine storey office building shaped like a Rubik s cube has been labelled too bulky and too high for its location off the Great Eastern Highway in Lathlain.
The tower, which rises 45 metres at its tallest point, has a plot ratio which is nearly three times the maximum limit in the local planning scheme for the area.
