Regional Victorians will benefit from $2.8 billion in government spending over the next 10 years in a bid to fix the state’s roads, following the devastating October floods.
. That’s despite last year’s budget setting aside $2.6 billion for the Games, which are due to be held across five regional locations in March 2026.
But that is unlikely to appease communities in Geelong, Ballarat, Bendigo and Morwell, given they have less than three years to complete the infrastructure necessary for the Games. Athlete villages are due to be built in those four locations, with expressions of interest already released.“In less than three years the Commonwealth Games will have been run,” he said.
In Ballarat, new warm-up facilities are to be built at the local showgrounds – alongside an upgrade to Eureka Stadium – as the regional city prepares to host athletics, boxing and mountain bike events. The Albanese government has so far declined to allocate any money to the $2.6 billion Games. This month’s federal budget stated that the financial implications of any Commonwealth support were “not quantifiable at this time”.
