Resources Community Infrastructure Fund

The Resources Community Infrastructure Fund supplements existing State investment in community infrastructure for resource communities.

Round 3 is fully funded by the Queensland Government, building on the Fund’s previous two rounds, which were a voluntary partnership between the Queensland Government and resources industry.

The fund assists with the construction of community infrastructure which includes new infrastructure, or the upgrade, extension, or replacement of existing infrastructure.
