The school last week welcomed the announcement of funds for the much-needed work, which borders on its early childhood precinct.

Funds were announced by assistant Infrastructure and Regional Development minister Jamie Briggs and Lyons Liberal MHR Eric Hutchinson.

Perth Primary School principal Lee Craw described the $38,500 contribution as "fantastic news".

The funds will be paired with $17,500 from the Northern Midlands Council to complete the $56,000 project, which will improve the safety of the cul-de-sac drop-of and pick-up point for the young pupils.

"Parents will be really relieved in terms of the safety issues that this area has posed for so long," Mrs Craw said.

Mr Hutchinson said the Black Spot funding program aimed to deliver safer roads throughout the state with targeted upgrades.

He said the funding was a great "problem solver" for works such as the one at Perth Primary School.

Assistant Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development Jamie Briggs was also at Perth School this morning to see for himself how the money would be spent.

The project is one of 35 "black spot" areas across the state that will benefit from $4.37 million funding, announced by Mr Briggs.

Mr Briggs said the Tasmanian funding "was part of the federal government's record commitment of $500 million" including $200 million to fast-track pledges for world-class infrastructure in Australia.

"These extra projects are expected to save an additional three lives and prevent 153 injury crashes over 10 years, and deliver economic dividends of around $18 million," Mr Briggs said.

The region will also receive a further $28,140 in federal funds, and $13,860 from the Northern Midlands Council, for works on Relbia Road, Relbia.
