Federal Road Grant Talks Push for Bigger and Flexible Funding
A deputation led by Messrs Prowse and Mann with Senator Tench pressed the Federal Works Minister for increased grant funds and looser spend rules. They urged Road Boards in country districts be allowed to build within state specs and costs, with climate based differences and ministerial notification of local authorities for approved districts. The Minister signalled budget details would reveal liberal policy, while stressing tenders and state discretion on unawarded tenders. A related note from H. Gregory MH R mentions additional grants in the Swan Division and Ginckine Piawsetty railroad area, including feeder road funding totaling 4500 pounds to spur regional development.
