The Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program (LRCI Program) which administered by the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Communications. The objective of the LRCI Program is to stimulate additional infrastructure construction activity in local communities across Australia to assist communities to manage the economic impacts of COVID-19.
The intended outcomes of the LRCI Program are to:
- provide stimulus to protect and create local short-term employment opportunities through
funded projects following the impacts of COVID-19; and
- deliver benefits to communities, such as improved road safety, accessibility and visual
amenity.
