The Australian Government is providing $150 million for the Remote Roads Upgrade Pilot Program (RRUPP). The program funds road improvement projects in regional communities to address significant deficiencies on key regional and rural roads that limit community access, pose safety risks, and impact the economic development of the surrounding area. 

Applications for funding were invited from state, territory and local governments and closed in February 2022. More than 200 proposals were received from across Australia seeking over $1.4 billion in funding.
