My attention has been drawn to a list I tabled on 1 June outlining off-network projects that are being delivered as part of the nation building program. My department has now updated the list and it should be noted that the total funding for off-network projects is $680.2 million. I stated in the House that it was $655.2 million, which was on the list from my department that was tabled on 1 June. Therefore, I table an updated list from the department of 41 projects at a total cost of $680.2 million. These projects form part of our record $35.8 billion investment in road, rail and port infrastructure.
