$150 million in local services & infrastructure to be lost? - Australia

The ASU is alarmed to learn that over $150 million in regional development grants may not be honoured by the new Federal Government. This will have a huge negative impact on the delivery of services and infrastructure to local communities.
            The ASU, Australia's largest local government union, expresses our concern over any cut backs to                funding of projects and infrastructure for local communities. Vital projects around the country rely                  on the continuity of grants funding from the Federal Government.
