Ms Archer said following feedback from the community and Dorset Council, the federal government would be investing in five projects in the North-East as part of the party's Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program.

The move will allow for $400,000 to be put towards safety improvements for Cascade Dam Road, Derby, $100,000 to assist in the restoration of Scottsdale Railway Station, and $700,000 to be used in the reconstruction of Victoria Street, Scottsdale.

The Bridport Country Women's Association carpark extension would also be granted a further $130,000 in funding, while the Derby carpark redevelopment would receive $172,336.

Ms Archer said the investments would not only build infrastructure she believed the community needed for the future, but would also create and support jobs.

"Importantly, these projects will improve safety and provide better community facilities," she said.

"It's [the investments] just an example of how the state Liberal government and federal Liberal government work hand-in-hand to deliver this vital infrastructure for Tasmanians, which we can only do because we have kept our economy strong."

Mr Ferguson said the investments would be warmly welcomed in the local community.

Tasmanian Labor senator Helen Polley queried why "Scott Morrison and the Liberals" were acting now after having been in Government for almost a decade.

"If the Liberals really cared about these projects why has it taken an election for them to act?" she asked.

Dorset mayor Greg Howard said the council had planned to undertake the projects within the next two years.

"We're very happy to have this funding, and commence some of these projects," he said.
