Nation Building Program
The Australian Government is investing $36.0 billion on road and rail infrastructure through the Nation Building Program over the six year period from 2008-09 to 2013-14.
This is unprecedented investment by a Commonwealth Government in land transport.
The Department of Infrastructure and Transport is delivering this investment through a range of road and rail programs and projects across the National Land Transport Network. The network is based on national and inter-regional land transport corridors that are of critical importance to national and regional growth.
There are several components under the Nation Building Program including:
- National Network construction;
- National Network maintenance;
- Roads to Recovery;
- Black Spot;
- Heavy Vehicle Safety and Productivity Program;
- Off-Network projects; and
- Boom Gates for Rail Crossings.
