I am happy to advise the Senate that round three of the National Stronger Regions Fund was very successful, as were rounds one and two of this program. The coalition government's investment in community infrastructure through the Stronger Regions Fund now stands at $632 million for 229 projects: investments like the $8 million into the Waltzing Matilda Centre in Winton and $1.8 million for the Margaret River business events hub. I am very pleased to say that we are investing in coalition as well as non-coalition seats—$10 million for the Fowlers Road to Fairwater Drive road link in the seat of Whitlam, $850,000 for the construction of the Upper Murray events centre in the seat of Indi and $10 million for the construction of the Charleston dam facility in the seat of Kennedy—and these are investments that will change lives in those communities.
