QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Dr HAINES (Indi) (14:58): My question is to the Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government. The Major and Local Community Infrastructure program opened on 1 September as an invitation-only program, providing up to $560 million to identified projects. With the merit based Growing Regions Program now out of money, organisations and councils in my electorate are asking how they can be invited to apply to this program.

Minister, how does a community organisation or local government secure an invitation to the Major and Local Community Infrastructure program?
