The Albanese Government continues to support investment in regional communities through the latest round of the $400 million regional Precincts and Partnerships Program (rPPP).
This round will see $67 million invested in 15 projects across regional, rural and remote Australia.
Minister for Regional Development, Local Government and Territories Kristy McBain will make the announcement today at the site of the Currumbin Wildlife Hospital Research and Training Precinct, which is receiving $8 million for its purpose-built research and training facility.
The project is being delivered in partnership with the National Trust of Australia (Queensland) Limited, the Currumbin Wildlife Hospital, the Queensland Government and the City of Gold Coast Council.
The new facility will work collaboratively with the Wildlife Hospital, reducing hospital admissions, preventing and treating disease, and protecting Australia's native wildlife.
The project will also offer a walk-through experience showing the inner workings of the laboratories and research facilities to the community.
The latest round of the rPPP will deliver $21.2 million for 11 precinct development and planning projects across regional Australia under Stream One of the program, and $45.8 million to support four capital projects under Stream Two.
