Stream 2
Stream 2 provides funding for two different types of projects—Economic Infrastructure projects and Regional Infrastructure Planning projects.
Infrastructure Australia will source both Economic Infrastructure and Regional Infrastructure Planning projects. Infrastructure Australia will work in conjunction with state, territory and local governments, Commonwealth agencies, Regional Development Australia committees and the resources sector when sourcing Economic Infrastructure projects.
Further information on the sourcing of projects for funding from Stream 2 can be found in the Regional Infrastructure Fund Guidelines [
