Purpose

The Safer Local Roads and Infrastructure Program (SLRIP) commenced on 1 July 2024 to provide funding for projects to address current and emerging priorities in road infrastructure needs.

Overview

The SLRIP has been created as part of the Australian Government’s commitment to strengthen investment to support the delivery of safer and more productive roads across Australia. Funding of at least $200 million per year will be available under the program.

The SLRIP consolidates the Bridges Renewal Program (BRP) and Heavy Vehicle Safety and Productivity Program (HVSPP) into a single program, and includes additional new focus areas.

The SLRIP is an application-based merit-assessed funding program, open to all state and territory governments and Local Government Authorities (LGA). Applications must directly address at least one of the program’s focus areas which are linked to priorities in road infrastructure needs. Over time focus areas may be updated as new road infrastructure priorities are identified. 

Applications can be submitted for projects in every focus area, all year. It is expected that applications will be assessed in batches three times per year.

Existing approved BRP and HVSPP projects will continue to be delivered under SLRIP until they are completed, in accordance with the guidelines and funding agreement under which they were approved.
