Local councils can now apply for new funding under the Bridges Renewal Program (BRP) and Heavy Vehicle Safety and Productivity Program (HVSPP).

The Australian Government will provide $12,000 to help preserve our Goulburn's wartime heritage as part of more than $800,000 in funding from the Saluting their Service (STS) Commemorative Grants Program.  

A key component of the Australian Government’s $600 million Preparing Australia Program has been launched, with the guidelines for the first stream of the program now available for communities.  
 

Expressions of interest are now open for Round 7 of the Stronger Communities Programme, giving local councils and community groups an opportunity to nominate projects for grants of up to $20,000. 
 

Families in Hume will benefit from greater child care support sooner, with increased Child Care Subsidy (CCS) for multiple children brought forward from 7 March 2022, four months earlier than first expected.   

The Federal Government is helping to ensure local agricultural shows can see off COVID-19 and continue contributing to local communities in the post-pandemic era. 
   

The Federal Government is investing in the future of Hume with $3.7 million in funding for four projects under Round 5 of our highly successful Building Better Regions Fund (BBRF).  

Projects to receive funding include: 

The Morrison Government will continue to secure Australia’s economic recovery by expanding support to help apprentices finish their training, protecting the skills pipeline delivered under the government’s successful Boosting Apprenticeship Commencements program.

Second round applications have opened for a share of up to $2.9 million under the Networks to Build Drought Resilience program. 
  
The program will continue to support the community organisations, networks and infrastructure that help people and communities prepare for drought. 
  

The Mundoonen Rest Area on the Hume Highway will be upgraded to help combat driver fatigue and make travelling safer, thanks to funding under the Federal Government’s Driver Reviver Site Upgrade Program.
