Residents in Hume have yet again been snubbed by the Albanese Government with more infrastructure cuts and delays following the outcome of Labor’s Infrastructure Review.

Documents released to the Parliament have revealed the extent of cuts and delays resulting from Labor’s shambolic Review that saw hundreds of projects being put on ice for more than six months.

Federal Member for Hume Angus Taylor said Hume had fallen victim to Labor’s mismanagement of the infrastructure pipeline, with local projects being cut and the delivery being delayed.

“Labor has cut $591.3 million over the forward estimates which now puts at risk the planning of Picton Bypass, Picton Road upgrades and the Princes Motorway M1 Improvements between Bulli Tops to Picton Road, Mr. Taylor said.

“Since coming to office, the Albanese Government have caused chaos and uncertainty to the infrastructure pipeline with repeated budget cuts, despite bringing 1.5 million more migrants into the country.

“Australians are living with increased congestion and deteriorating roads as a result of Labor’s failure to invest in the road upgrades our communities need,” Mr. Taylor said.

Other projects cut or delayed include:

• $23.5 million cut from Appin Rd over 2023-24 & 2024-25

• $900,000 cut from Silverdale Road, Silverdale – with completion delayed by one year for upgrades and safety improvements

• Camden Valley Way/Hilder Street intersection upgrade – delayed by one year

• $700,000 cut from the Remembrance Driveway Corridor Upgrade in Camden.
