This election commitment would put 1.8 billion to Victoria's regional economy.
This project will deliver strategic tourism infrastructure that is forecast to increase visitation, improve the visitor experience, and increase length of stay and spend in Bendigo and the region.
Consistent with past practice, election commitments will be delivered in line with Commonwealth Grants Rules and Principles.
QUOTES ATTRIBUTABLE TO FEDERAL MEMBER FOR BENDIGO, LISA CHESTERS MP:
"Regional Victoria is a vibrant community with a rich gold mining history.
"This project will encourage more visitors to come to Bendigo, stay in Bendigo and learn more about our story.
"I've delivered over $415 million in funding to the Bendigo electorate since the election of the Labor Government in 2022, and a re-elected Albanese Labor Government will continue to deliver for people in our community.
"Federal Labor is delivering better local roads and more community infrastructure for Bendigo."
