Jim Cox, MHA Minister for Infrastructure
Friday, 2 November 2007
Infrastructure Minister Jim Cox today welcomed Federal Labor’s major commitment to upgrade road and rail networks across Tasmania’s North, North-West and West Coasts.
Mr Cox said it was wonderful news for local communities in the northern half of the State.
“This is a great opportunity to work on the dedicated freight routes and local transport projects that are so important to these regional centres,” Mr Cox said.
Mr Cox said today’s announcement showed what could be achieved with a true spirit of co-operation between State and Federal governments.
He said the State Government would contribute more than $16 million towards the road funding package.
This included $8.5 million for North-East roads, $3.1 million for Illawarra Road, $3 million for Port Sorell Main Road and $1.3 million for the Bell Bay intermodel.
“This funding will go a long way towards addressing freight transport issues and improving road safety.”
“We look forward to working with a Rudd Labor Government to meet the ongoing road and transport challenges in Tasmania,” Mr Cox said.
