Getting the right transport infrastructure in place is essential to our future prosperity.

As part of the Infrastructure Growth Package, the Government is committing $3.7 billion to the new investments component to expedite investment in high-quality economic infrastructure that will support jobs and growth in the short term, while bolstering the long-term productive capacity of the economy.

As part of this package, the Government will invest:

• $229 million in a National Highway Upgrade Programme;
• additional funding of $200 million for the Black Spot Programme;
• an additional $350 million for the Roads to Recovery Programme; and
• up to $2.9 billion for key roads across Australia including:
  • the East West Link (stage 2) in Melbourne;
  • WestConnex (stage 2);
  • the Perth Freight Link in Western Australia;
  • the Toowoomba Second Range Crossing in Queensland;
  • the North‑South Road Corridor in Adelaide; and
  • Northern Territory road upgrades.

In addition, the Australian Government has committed $2.9 billion towards a ten‑year $3.5 billion Western Sydney Infrastructure Plan being delivered in partnership with the New South Wales Government. The Plan will enhance capacity to handle future traffic growth in the South West Growth Centre, and for the development of an airport at Badgerys Creek as well as improved local transport connections for Western Sydney.
