I am advised:
- and (2) The Board of the Hunter Infrastructure Fund will advise the
Government on potential Hunter projects. It will also develop the 20-year
infrastructure plan for the region.
Mr Peter Blackmore, the Mayor of
Maitland, has been appointed the chair of the State Government's new Hunter
Infrastructure Fund board. Further local community members and business leaders
will be appointed to the board through a public expressions of interest
process.
$350 million will be allocated to the Fund over four years
for infrastructure projects in the region.
