4.2Relevant funding sources#

The NSW PAMP guide discusses funding sources for implementation (Stage 3, Step 2). While the department does not have a specific funding program to assist local governments with PAMPs, there are a number of potential funding sources to assist with implementation, including:

• Cycle Network Local Government Grants Program – grants to cover 50% of the design and/or construction of cycling infrastructure that contributes to the delivery of high-priority routes on the Principal Cycle Network; however, there is the potential to fund shared paths for use by pedestrians as well on these networks
• Transport Infrastructure Development Scheme – grants are provided for upgrade to local government-controlled roads
• Community Road Safety Grants – grants to community groups for projects and program that address road safety issues in support of the Queensland Road Safety Strategy 2015–2021 strategic objective and associated action plan
• Federal Black Spot – this program provides improvements for sites with identified safety concerns, funded under the Australian Government Black Spot program
• Targeted Road Safety Program – delivers safety intervention to infrastructure by monitoring trends in crash data and working in close collaboration with stakeholders, and
• Community Benefits Funding Programs – this program supports community organisations and groups to provide services, leisure activities and opportunities for Queenslanders in their local communities
