November 24, 2015<\/strong><\/p>\n

Local councils will receive $3,361,527 under the second quarter of the Federal Government\u2019s Financial Assistance Grants program, Federal Member for Wide Bay Warren Truss said today.<\/p>\n

The funding is part of $2.3 billion which will be paid to local governments across Australia in 2015-16, and includes $1.1 billion in advance payments that were paid on June 30.<\/p>\n

“The FAGS program differs to most Federal Government program as it is paid directly and unconditionally,” Mr Truss said.<\/p>\n

“This allows councils to spend it on meeting local priorities such as building infrastructure, supporting local businesses and creating jobs in their community.”<\/p>\n

Mr Truss said the funds would be allocated by councils towards a variety of needs such as roads, libraries and other infrastructure.<\/p>\n

It could also be used for services like the upkeep of local parks and public spaces, animal control and waste collection and disposal.<\/p>\n

“This arrangement is the Federal Government\u2019s way of acknowledging the special and important role that local governments play in meeting the needs of our local communities.”<\/p>\n

Local councils will receive the following Financial Assistance Grant funding in 2015-16:<\/p>\n
