The State Government has announced more than $59 million in new funding “to unlock development opportunities, create jobs and drive economic growth”<\/p>\n

Deputy Premier Jackie Trad said the new Catalyst Infrastructure Program would allow councils and private proponents to apply for co-investment funding to build road, water, sewerage and other infrastructure.<\/p>\n

\u201cOften development can be stalled by the lack of critical infrastructure such as roads, water supply, wastewater or stormwater infrastructure,\u201d Ms Trad said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy investing in this catalyst infrastructure, we unlock the potential for economic growth and jobs.<\/p>\n

\u201cCouncils, developers and water distributors-retailers will embrace this opportunity with the Palaszczuk Government co-investing in infrastructure to kick-start the development of their projects.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ms Trad said the State Government was investing $10.1 billion in infrastructure this financial year, supporting 27,500 jobs.<\/strong><\/p>\n

She said the key criteria for the Catalyst Infrastructure Program was that the proposed infrastructure must generate, facilitate or accelerate economic benefit.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are now talking to councils and calling for potential co-investors to speak to us about what projects they would like to see funded through the Catalyst Infrastructure Program,” Ms Trad said.<\/p>\n

“We are looking for shovel-ready projects which demonstrate significant flow-on economic benefits for the community.<\/p>\n

\u201cJobs and economic growth are key priorities of this government and all councils will be eligible to apply for catalyst infrastructure funding under the program.\u201d<\/p>\n

Successful proponents will receive funding on an interest-free basis to be repaid over time. These repayments will allow for the sustainable, ongoing funding of the program.<\/p>\n

The proponent must also co-invest between 10 and 50 per cent of the total direct costs, and be ready to start construction within 12 months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
