ROADS FUNDED: Deputy PM and National Party Leader Michael McCormack.

More Than $400 Million in Road Safety Funding En Route for NSW: Hundreds of road safety projects are rolling out across New South Wales, in a more than $400 million blitz designed to reduce road trauma and save lives.

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development Michael McCormack said the Australian and NSW Governments were working tirelessly to ensure works start immediately and are completed by June to get people home sooner and safer. “As someone who proudly lives, works and has raised a family in regional NSW, I know just how important safe, efficient road connections are to local communities,” the Deputy Prime Minister said.

“That’s why we are rolling out this funding to deliver lifesaving upgrades. This investment won’t just save lives, it will also provide more than 2,500 direct and indirect jobs.”
