The government is investing in infrastructure initiatives to make travel quicker and easier while growing jobs and growth across regional Australia. This commitment includes the Roads to Recovery program, the Bridges Renewal program, the Heavy Vehicle Safety and Productivity program, the Black Spot program and the National Highway Upgrade program. Under the Bridges Renewal program, the coalition government is supporting Queensland communities. For example, the Mckinlay Shire Council has received over $1.7 million to support work on the Punchbowl Road bridge. The Murweh Shire Council also receive coalition government support for work on the Nive River bridge and Langlo River bridge. These are all examples of the way the coalition government is supporting these communities in Queensland that are dealing with the very significant impacts of drought, and this coalition government will continue to support those communities.
