New Inquiry: Inquiry into the Northern Australia Infrastructure Facility Bill 2016

THE Northern Australia Infrastructure Facility Bill 2016 proposes to establish the Northern Australia Infrastructure Facility which would provide up to $5 billion in concessional financial assistance to infrastructure projects that promote the economic development of Northern Australia.

The Facility is designed to supplement State and Territory Government and private sector investment and to target projects that would be significantly delayed, or not be built, without financial assistance from the Commonwealth.

A copy of the Bill is available at:

Written submissions are being invited from interested individuals and organisations to be received by 5pm Thursday, March 31, 2016. Guidance on preparing a submission is available on the Committee’s website at www.aph.gov.au/jscna.
