Answer -
|
I am advised Fixing Country Roads is a $543 million Restart NSW funded program for freight investments that will improve freight capacity, access, and efficiency of the regional road network. Transport for NSW does not hold the funding for this program, the delivery and funding arrangements for the program are administered by Infrastructure NSW. When the former Liberal National government transferred over $80 million out of the funds, I fought as Shadow Minister for its restoration. |
