The last section of the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail which has not been developed is between Moore and Toogoolawah; the Wulkuraka section is now complete<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

August 4, 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Federal Government has come to the rescue of the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail, putting up $1.45 million to complete the last “missing link” on the recreational trail.<\/p>\n

The funding, to complete the trail between Moore and Toogoolawah, has come from the Building Better Regions Fund.<\/p>\n

Somerset Regional Council applied for the funding last year and \u00a0the result was announced on Friday.<\/p>\n

The State Government has already offered to put $1.8 million towards the $3.353 million project, with conditions.<\/p>\n

The 27km stretch of the trail between Moore and Toogoolawah will have some challenges, including a detour around Ivory Creek and the possible construction of a bridge at Jimmy’s Gully.<\/p>\n

Regional Development Minister Fiona Nash said 110 rural, regional and remote projects had been successful under the infrastructure stream of Round 1 \u00a0of the Building Better Regions Fund (BBRF).<\/strong><\/p>\n

“The Coalition Government will invest $219.5 million into 110 projects which are worth a total of $467.9 million including investment from applicants and other sources,” she said.<\/p>\n

“That’s 110 dreams which will become reality in rural, regional and remote Australia thanks to the Building Better Regions Fund.<\/p>\n

“I congratulate these successful applicants, who were chosen from a field of 545 applications asking for almost $1 billion in Federal Government funding for projects worth a total of $2 billion.<\/p>\n

“After a competitive merit-based selection process, there are always those who were not successful and are naturally disappointed.<\/p>\n

“We have\u00a0dedicated staff in the Department of Industry to give tailored feedback to each unsuccessful applicant to help improve those applications for next time.<\/p>\n

They can be contacted on\u00a0bbrffeedback@industry.gov.au<\/a><\/strong>”<\/p>\n

Ms Nash said she expected to open another round of\u00a0BBRF funding before the end of the year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
