Since the commencement of COVID-19, the government has committed to investing an extra $14 billion in new and accelerated infrastructure projects over the next four years, supporting the creation of around 40,000 jobs. This includes $1.5 billion being provided for shovel-ready projects and targeted road safety works right across Australia. We're working closely with state and territory governments to rebuild our economy and, of course, to support more jobs being created.

The budget has also provided $2 billion for easy-to-deliver road safety treatments to be provided to state governments on a 'use it or lose it' basis. This will ensure that this funding is rolled out quickly and the benefits can flow to communities as soon as possible. Senator Askew, there is $150 million for the Midway Point Causeway and the Sorell Causeway in Tasmania.
