The Government will provide $257.9 million over four years to implement the Nation Building and Jobs Plan. The implementation costs include program management and compliance activities.
The Government's $42 billion Nation Building and Jobs Plan will provide direct Government investment in schools, housing, energy efficiency community infrastructure and roads and support to small businesses. The Nation Building and Jobs Plan also provides $12.7 billion in payments to low‑ and middle‑income Australians as an immediate stimulus to the economy and to support growth and jobs.
This measure includes funding of $50.8 million over two years for a national media campaign to raise public awareness of how householders can improve the energy efficiency of their homes and how they can access the government assistance announced in the Nation Building and Jobs Plan.
This measure is in addition to funding provided for the Nation Building and Jobs Plan, announced in the February 2009 Updated Economic and Fiscal Outlook.
