There is $5 million a year from 2024–25

include treatments on local government roads for a total of $20 million. There
is $2.1 million in 2024–25 for the Western
Australia Police Force for operation regional influence. There is an allocation
of $1.063 million in 2024–25 , $2.586 million in 2025–26,
$2.446 million in 2026–27 and $2.5 million in 2027–28 for the
