New $176m Better Regions Program
During the 2007 election, the Australian Government made a significant commitment to fund projects that had been identified by local communities across Regional Australia as priority investments for their region.
These projects are now being implemented under the $176m Better Regions Program and will provide important community infrastructure which will significantly enhance the liveability of regions and regional towns.
The Better Regions Program has been developed to ensure that the implementation of these election commitment projects is consistent with all relevant requirements of the Financial Management and Accountability (FMA) Regulations 1997, the ANAO Best Practice guide and the recommendations from the ANAO Audit of the Regional Partnerships program.
Better Regions proponents have received a letter congratulating them on their project funding and providing advice on how to access funding.
