I will ask the Minister for Cities, Urban Infrastructure and Population to respond, but I would add that a total of $2.2 billion in transport infrastructure in Tasmania included $921 million for projects we announced in this year's budget. That's true—that includes $461 million for the Bridgewater Bridge. It includes $400 million under the Roads of Strategic Importance Initiative. It includes $400 million to upgrade and improve safety on the Midland Highway in Tasmania. It includes $38 million towards the $40 million Hobart International Airport runway extension, recently completed, which created 360 jobs. There was $17½ million for the Huon Highway and Summerleas Road intersection upgrade, creating 350 jobs. And there was $119.6 million earlier in our government for the freight rail revitalisation project, supporting 200 jobs and improving freight transport links to key domestic and export markets throughout Australia and the world.

Our government is delivering for Tasmania, and I will ask the minister for cities to add to that.
