Motorists and truckies who live in and travel through regional Australia will benefit from new Australian Government-funded projects targeting heavy vehicle safety and productivity.
The funding is part of the Australian Government's nationwide investment of over $34.8 million in 18 projects under the Heavy Vehicle Safety and Productivity Program (HVSPP).
The HVSPP provides funding to state, territory and local governments for projects that increase safety and productivity for the trucking industry and communities.
Projects funded under the program include widening and upgrading roads used along heavy vehicle freight routes as well as delivering new and upgraded truck stop rest areas.
The Australian Government has committed at least $65 million per year to the HVSPP.
