Federal Member for Durack, the Hon. Melissa Price, has welcomed the release of application guidelines for Round Five of the Building Better Regions Fund (BBRF).
There have been many and varied projects completed in Durack with succesful BBRF applications and I would encourage communities to apply.
“There are many significant local improvements I have seen when I visit towns and regions in my electorate that have been created using this funding. This year I have attended the opening of the Three Springs Childcare Centre, met with the Carnarvon Shire to discuss their BBRF recycled waterpipe development and seen the difference an upgraded community health centre and purpose built hydrotherapy pool has made to the Moora Community,” Melissa Price said.
“This Round Five has $100 million of targeted support for tourism-related infrastructure to get regional tourism back on its feet, while maintaining $100 million for broader community infrastructure and investment,” Ms Price said.
The launch of the program guidelines means prospective applicants can now begin planning their project applications for assessment.
They can be found at www.business.gov.au/bbrf.
Applications open on 12 January 2021 and close on 5 March 2021.
Successful applicants are expected to be announced in mid-2021.
Ends.
