"The Coalition is investing billions of dollars in infrastructure projects in Hume to boost the local economy and improve the communities where we live and work.
"The $11.5 million CSIRO Boorowa Ag Research Centre is one of the big items soon to be completed."
The announcement comes as Labor candidate for Hume, Aoife Champion, promised that an elected Shorten Labor Government would invest $1 million for upgrades to Goulburn TAFE.
"This election is a choice between Labor's plan for better hospitals and schools, like this $1 million investment into Goulburn TAFE, or the Liberals' cuts to schools and hospitals and bigger handouts to the top end of town," she said.
"These funds will make a huge difference in the learning facilities and resources for local students."
