Boost for regional flights to keep cost-of-living support flowing
News for the Department of Transport
Significant cost-of-living relief will continue to flow to regional residents through the 2024-25 State Budget, with the Cook Labor Government committing an additional $64.6 million to its flagship Regional Airfare Zone Cap (RAZC) scheme.
The RAZC scheme was a key election commitment from the WA Labor Government and has been enormously successful, helping thousands of regional residents manage the costs of flying to and from Perth since it was established in mid-2022.
