Answer -

I am advised

Transport for NSW does not hold the funding for this program, the delivery and funding arrangements for the program are administered by Infrastructure NSW.

The Fixing Country Roads Program guidelines require successful projects to enter into funding deeds to repair and upgrade local and regional roads to improve the movement of freight to key freight hubs and state roads across regional NSW.

The funding allocation will be provided to Councils on execution of the Infrastructure Australia- administered Restart NSW Funding Deed.

Under the guidelines and funding deed agreement, construction must commence within 18 months from receipt of a successful project letter and delivered within 24 months of starting construction.
