1920 - Roads, Maritime and Freight - LOCAL GOVERNMENT FUNDING FOR PREVENTATIVE FLOOD WORKS

Mookhey, Daniel to the Minister for Primary Industries, Minister for Regional Water, Minister for Trade and Industry representing the Minister for Roads, Maritime and Freight
  1. What funding is available to local governments for preventative flood works such as culvert construction?
  2. Will the Government consider providing a dedicated fund or grant program for local governments to perform preventative flood works?
    1. If not, why not?
Answer -

I am advised:

The NSW Government provides financial assistance to all councils in NSW for the maintenance of their regional roads in recognition of their importance to local communities and businesses.

Local councils are responsible for managing funding, determining and carrying out work priorities on regional and local roads, including preventative flood works.

Local councils have access to a range of financial assistance grants for works on council owned and managed roads.
