LRCI update for councils

The Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications and the Arts has advised councils have until 31 December 2024 to submit final reports for payment for remaining funding allocations under phases 1, 2 and 3 of the Local Roads and Community Infrastructure (LRCI) program.

Unless councils have already been granted an extension to their grant agreement and work schedule, construction activity on eligible projects under phases 1, 2 or 3 should have been finalised by 30 June 2024 and annual reports submitted by 31 October 2024.

Please contact the Department as soon as possible via email LRCIP@infrastructure.gov.au if you have any concerns about meeting these deadlines.
