(1) Total of 608km from 2001-02 to 2007-08, separated as follows -
212km - grants to local government (metro)
178km - grants to local government (regional)
120km - Main Roads major infrastructure projects (metro)
87km - Main Roads major infrastructure projects (regional)
11km - Principal Shared Paths (metro)
(2) Many shared paths (paths legal for bicycles) are installed and owned by local governments outside State Government funding. For this reason a total measurement of shared paths is not able to be calculated.

(a) Metropolitan area - 22km in grants to local government; 47km in Main Roads major infrastructure projects; 1km in Principal Shared Paths.
(b) Non-metropolitan area - 27km in grants to local government and 5km in Main Roads major infrastructure projects.
(4) In addition to the projects outlined in the answer to part (3), the following work on shared paths is currently planned for 2010-11 and 2011-12 -
Grants to local government (metro) - $2,000,000 (length to be determined based on local government project submissions).
Grants to local government (regional) - $1,499,930 (length to be determined based on local government project submissions).
Principal Shared Paths (metro) - $1,820,000 (4.6km).
