THE ACT will receive $51 million for three major infrastructure projects in this week’s federal budget.
The projects funded in the ACT in the 2022–23 Budget include:
- $46.7 million for the Athllon Drive Duplication
- $2.8 million for the Kent Street and Novar Street Intersection Upgrades
- $1.5 million for the Inner Canberra Corridor Planning Package
The federal government says the transport infrastructure projects currently under construction in the ACT will support around 325 jobs over the life of the projects.
Senator for the ACT Zed Seselja said the funding comes on top of more than $2.1 billion in infrastructure commitments by the government in the ACT in recent years.
“This includes the $115 million Monaro Highway upgrades, $51 million for the Tuggeranong Parkway, $26.5 million for the duplication of William-Hovell Drive, the $500 million redevelopment of the Australian War Memorial, and $137 million for upgrades to Commonwealth Avenue Bridge,” said Mr Seselja.
