State and Local authorities – and other eligible organisations – have until 13 January 2025 to tap into the Australian Government’s $100m Active Transport Fund!
The Fund will inject 50% into successful infrastructure projects up to $5m – with local government authorities potentially eligible for more.
Successful projects need to engage at least one of the Fund’s priorities that include:
- Safety plans, road safety audits and infrastructure asset reports
- Existing Net Zero plans or strategies
- Analysis that shows the project will increase bike rider or pedestrian numbers, increase use of public transport or remove cars from roads
- Active Transport Strategies
- Urban Strategies to connect communities and increase liveability.
Eligible projects must:
- Be for the upgrade of an existing or construction of a new bicycle or walking pathway
- Be on a publicly owned road asset or corridor that is accessible to the public
- Be a whole and complete project (not reliant on other works)
“We’ve heard Australians call for more sustainable and lower cost travel options to get to school, work and local services,” said Federal Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government, Catherine King.
