Round 6 of the Queensland Government's Building Our Regions program will provide $70 million in funding for regional governments to improve water supply and sewerage infrastructure.
With only a few weeks left to submit expressions of interest for construction projects and applications for planning projects, Peak's Grant Program Office has been mobilised to support this funding round. Helping secure over $6.4 million in grant funding for various Queensland Councils in BoR Round 5, we have the experience and expertise to maximise the outcomes of this round.
This round of Building Our Regions will help drive new water supply and sewerage infrastructure projects to improve water security, enhance drinking water quality and help to improve sustainability of Queensland’s regional water service providers. This Program also aims to support jobs in manufacturing and technology and underpin the social, economic, and environmental well-being of regional communities.
Funding is available through three funds as follows:
- Large Service Provider Fund – $12 million. These service providers deliver water and sewerage services in Regional Queensland, have between 25,000 and 100,000 connections, and are mainly located along Queensland’s east coast (see Figure 1 below).
- Medium Service Provider Fund – $10 million. These service providers deliver water and sewerage services in Regional Queensland, have between 10,000 and 25,000 connections, and are located along the east coast as well as inland.
- Small and Very Small Service Provider Fund – $48 million. These service providers deliver water and sewerage services in regional and remote Queensland, have up to 10,000 connections. $12 million (of this $48 million) will be provisionally allocated for planning projects.
The funding allocation falls under two streams:
- Planning projects - up to $300,000
- Construction projects - $100,000 to $2,000,000
Funding for construction and works projects must commence before the 15th February 2023.
