Important Information

Grant Eligibility

To be eligible for a VRUP infrastructure Grant, applicants must:
• be a Tasmanian Municipal Council (i.e., a local government in Tasmania)
• support an application with a co-contribution or provide an explanation on why providing a co-contribution is not appropriate or viable
• provide a community engagement plan and/or evidence of existing community support for the proposed works.

 

For an infrastructure Grant application to be eligible, it must propose works:
1. that are infrastructure treatments
2. on a road that is owned by either the Tasmanian Government or the local government (as the applicant)
3. with detailed designs and a schedule for delivery
4. that are a new project (works must not have commenced or be extensions of a current project)
5. that are not infrastructure maintenance activities
6. that require a Tasmanian Government co-contribution of less than or equal to $500,000 and more than or equal to $10,000
7. that do not include an allocation for the funding of administration costs, either directly or incurred. 

 

NOTE: All submissions must only include one location.

Applications that have proposed treatments at different locations (for example, several pedestrian crossings on different streets) must be submitted as a separate application for each location.

Applicant's may submit multiple applications providing that each application is associated with a unique project. 

Note on project location

Definition of 'Urban Area'

The Department of State Growth acknowledges that, in the context of the VRUP, no standardised definition of an ‘urban’ area is suitable for all local government areas. For the purposes of this program, the Department has developed a framework to identify ‘urban’ areas in each municipality. If an applicant wishes to confirm the suitability of a project location, please contact the Department via VRUP@stategrowth.tas.gov.au. 

 

Projects in Rural Areas

Depending on the type of treatment, rural treatments may be eligible for funding under the Safer Rural Roads Program (SRRP). Details of the SRRP are available at: Safer rural roads program – Transport Services.
