The Roads to Recovery (RTR) Program supports the construction and maintenance of the nation's local road infrastructure assets, which facilitates greater accessibility and improves safety, economic and social outcomes for Australians.
Funding under the RTR Program is available to all local government areas in Australia, for projects delivered through councils, and state and territory governments in unincorporated areas, under the National Land Transport Act 2014.
RTR is an ongoing program that operates on a five-year funding period, providing a stable and predictable source of funding. Flexibility is built into the program, with funding recipients able to decide on the roads projects that deliver on local priorities throughout the funding period.
From 1 July 2024, a new five-year funding period commenced with increased funding as announced by the Australian Government in November 2023.
Over the five years from 2024-25 to 2028-29, $4.4 billion will be available under the RTR Program. From 2027-28 RTR Program funding will reach $1 billion per year and remain at that level under this ongoing program.
