More than 600 projects have been approved and councils estimate the works will support, sustain or create almost 5,700 jobs in regional towns and cities battling high unemployment.
An additional $200 million is approved to extend the Works for Queensland until 2020–21, now totalling a $600 million funding program that commenced in 2016–17.
