Auditor-General's Report

In reply to Mr TELFER (Flinders) (14 November 2023).

The Hon. G.G. BROCK (Stuart—Minister for Local Government, Minister for Regional Roads, Minister for Veterans Affairs): I have been advised:

The $1.25 million increase in grants and subsidies in 2022-2023 relates to the Australian government's Local Roads and Community Infrastructure grant program.

The Local Roads and Community Infrastructure grant program supports councils to deliver priority local road and community infrastructure projects across Australia. In the unincorporated areas of South Australia, funding has been provided to complete projects to enhance local community facilities.
