Regional Infrastructure Fund
The Commonwealth has committed $6.0 billion over 11 years to 2020‑21 in regional infrastructure investment for the Regional Infrastructure Fund (RIF) that will spread the benefits of the mining boom into regional Australia.
The RIF will:
- promote development and job creation in mining communities, and communities which support the mining sector;
- provide a clear benefit to Australia's economic development, and to investment in Australia's resource and export capacity; and
- address potential capacity constraints arising from export production and resource projects.
The Commonwealth will ensure that RIF funding to the States will have regard to their share of total mining production over time.
Projects from the RIF will be delivered in three streams. Streams 1 and 2 are payments to the States and are reported below. Stream 3 provides funding for the Regional Development Australia Fund, which is made direct to eligible local governments and not‑for‑profit organisations for local projects identified by Regional Development Australia committees. Funding for Stream 3 was previously reported in Budget Paper No. 3 but is now reported under the Department of Regional Australia, Local Government, Arts and Sport portfolio.
