The Territory Government has invested more than $3.5 million for 28 projects in the Top End, and more than $1.3 million for 11 projects in the Territory’s Central region.

The Roadhouse to Recovery Grant offered payments of up to $150,000 to undertake infrastructure projects to improve their facilities.

As part of the initiative, operators are required to provide a cash contribution, with each $1 invested by the operator receiving $3 from the Government.
