Mr Martin Ferguson asked the Minister for Transport and Regional Services, upon notice, on 14 May 2002:

(1) What sum has been, or will be, spent on the Roads of National Importance Program in each year since its commencement until 2005-06.

(2) What proportion of those funds has been or will be spent on (a) planning and design, (b) construction and (c) maintenance in each of those years, by State and Territory.


Mr Anderson (Minister for Transport and Regional Services) —The answer to the honourable member's question is as follows:

(1) and (2) The following table shows the amounts funded under the Roads of National Importance programme (RONI) from 1996-97 to 2001-02 and the amounts budgeted for under the programme for the years 2002-03 to 2005-06 for each State and Territory. Generally Commonwealth funding for Roads of National Importance is limited to construction costs, but under some programmes, such as the NSW Pacific Highway programme, the Commonwealth fully funds discreet projects including their planning and design. These are a small proportion of total costs. No RONI funds are spent on maintenance.
