Current Road Projects

Regional Road Group

There are 10 Regional Road Groups (RRG) in WA, established under the State Road Funds to Local Government Agreement, which is overseen by a State Advisory Committee (SAC). The RRGs make recommendations to the SAC regarding the Annual Local Government Roads Program for their Region and any other relevant issues.

The RRGs are comprised of elected representatives from each Local Government within the road group. Most groups are supported by a sub-group or technical committee comprised of Local Government staff. Administrative support is provided by Main Roads WA. RRGs importantly provide Local Government with a voice in how the State Government’s contribution to local roads is spent. RRG members serve a vital and valuable role in ensuring road funding decisions maximise community benefits and preserve and improve the public road network across Western Australia.

Roads to Recovery

The Roads to Recovery (RTR) Program supports the construction and maintenance of the nation's local road infrastructure assets, which facilitates greater accessibility and improves safety, economic and social outcomes for Australians.

Funding under the RTR Program is available to all local government areas in Australia, for projects delivered through councils, and state and territory governments in unincorporated areas, under the National Land Transport Act 2014.

RTR is an ongoing program that operates on a five-year funding period, providing a stable and predictable source of funding. Flexibility is built into the program, with funding recipients able to decide on the roads projects that deliver on local priorities throughout the funding period.

From 1 July 2024, a new five-year funding period commenced with increased funding as announced by the Australian Government in November 2023.

Over the five years from 2024-25 to 2028-29, $4.4 billion will be available under the RTR Program. From 2027-28 RTR Program funding will reach $1 billion per year and remain at that level under this ongoing program.
