It comes just weeks after the Federal Government's Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program announcement, which will provide a further $635,335 to stimulate the local economy in Weddin Shire.

Riverina MP and Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack said the Federal Government continued to deliver on its commitment for regional Australia.

"I am proud to be a part of a Government which has supported our regional areas so much as this COVID-19 pandemic has unfolded," Mr McCormack said.

"I know regional and rural residents rely on roads much more than our city counterparts which is why I took our fight to the Cabinet table to deliver for residents in Weddin Shire.

"Weddin Council submitted a shortlist of projects which they deemed as shovel ready and from there I have worked tirelessly in my role as Minister for Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development along with NSW Minister for Regional Transport and Roads Paul Toole to ensure our regional roads receive the funding they deserve.

"We are delivering on our commitment to get people where they need to go sooner and safer.

"This funding will deliver critical infrastructure projects right across the country to help keep construction businesses running and people in jobs."

Weddin Shire Mayor Mark Liebich said he was overwhelmed with the news of the road funding.

"$4.6 million is very much appreciated to bring these roads up to 2020 standards," Councillor Liebich said.

"This money is a great stimulus to the Weddin Shire Community. It will increase productivity for farmers and create jobs on the Council. Thank you to the Federal and State Governments."

NSW Minister for Regional Transport and Roads Paul Toole said the Government was also accelerating its funding for the program to get more projects to seal, maintain and repair local roads faster.

"We're not just putting our foot down in terms of delivering this package - we're turbocharging it to ensure we create jobs and create better journeys on the roads that really matter to local communities," Mr Toole said. "This is money for small projects that make a big difference."

The Federal and NSW Governments will deliver a total of $32,261,135 towards projects across the Riverina and Central West through this new funding announcement.

This is part of a wider $1.5 billion Federal Government infrastructure package.

"$1 billion of this Federal Government package will fund projects which can get under way now and over the next six months, to give an immediate boost to the economy and local jobs - right at the time we need it," Mr McCormack said. "I will continue to work with Weddin Shire Council, along with my Nationals colleague and NSW Member for Cootamundra Steph Cooke, to deliver these job-creating priority projects, building on our unprecedented co-operation to date through the National Cabinet of States and Territories.

"This is part of our $100 billion, 10-year infrastructure pipeline, which is laying the foundations of a financial bridge to recovery on the other side of the COVID-19 crisis."
