$5.6 million in heavy vehicle safety grants close soon

Applications for a record $5.6 million in funding for the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator’s (NHVR) Heavy Vehicle Safety Initiative (HVSI) will close 5pm (AEST) Monday 14 February.

NHVR CEO Sal Petroccitto said Round 7 HVSI grants are open to any industry group, organisation or council that can deliver tangible improvements to heavy vehicle safety.

“There is only two weeks left to apply for HVSI funding – now is the time to submit projects that can make Australia’s roads safer for all road users and ultimately save lives.

“I urge anyone who has experienced firsthand how heavy vehicle operations could be improved by a targeted safety project, put your idea forward and make an impact.” 

Through the HVSI program, the Federal Government has allocated over $28 million to support 117 projects across six rounds.

Round 7 projects must be implemented during the 2022-23 financial year and be completed within two years of commencement.
