Member for Hume Angus Taylor said a new round of funding under the $360 million Bridges Renewal Program was now open.
“This is a fantastic opportunity for state, territory and local governments to apply for funding to have bridges fixed, with up to half the cost met by the Federal Government,” Mr Taylor said.
Previous Hume Bridges Renewal Program projects included the Abercrombie River Bridge Replacement - $750,000 – Upper Lachlan Shire Council.
State, territory and local governments are eligible to apply for up to $5 million in Federal Government funding per project.
Nominated projects will go through a competitive merit-based selection process, with successful applicants eligible to receive up to 50 per cent of project costs, or $5 million.
Round Three is open for applications until May 15, 2017.
