Regional and Local Community Infrastructure Program: Round One - $800 million

Round One is closed.

One-off funding of $250 million in 2008-09 was provided to local government authorities (LGA) through the Regional and Local Community Infrastructure Program (RLCIP). Round One of the RLCIP closed on 30 January 2009. All funds have now been allocated.

In determining each LGA's share of the $250 million allocation, the Government used a robust, transparent and accountable process, based on data collected by the State and Territory Local Government Grants Commissions. That process was as follows:

Minimum payment: Each LGA received a minimum payment of $100,000.

$300,000 Growth Component: LGAs with populations of more than 30,000 people, which are also categorised as 'urban fringe', 'urban regional' or 'rural significant growth' by their State and Territory Local Government Grants Commissions, received an additional $300,000. These authorities generally face relatively greater pressures to provide or renew community infrastructure.

Balance of funds: For LGAs with more than 5,000 people, the balance of the $250 million was allocated in accordance with the annual Financial Assistance Grants formulas used by the independent State and Territory Local Government Grants Commissions.

Strategic Projects Component

Under the $550 million Strategic Projects component of the Regional and Local Community Infrastructure Program, local government authorities could submit applications for funding. Round One of the RLCIP-SP closed Friday 6 March 2009.
