The Minister for Regional Development, Territories and Local Government, the Hon Dr John McVeigh, has announced that 136 projects will receive grant funding of $208.2m to support community projects in regional Australia under the Infrastructure Projects Stream of the Building Better Regions Fund (BBRF).

The Department of Industry, Innovation and Science is responsible for administering the program on behalf of the Department of Infrastructure and Regional Development and Cities.

The Infrastructure Projects Stream supports projects which involve the construction of new infrastructure, or the upgrade or extension of existing infrastructure that provide economic and social benefits to regional and remote areas.
