Northern Tablelands MP Adam Marshall is overjoyed at "yet another" record funding allocation to continue regional development and local job creation.

He said the record capital spend of $349.52 million over the next 12 months, comes on the back of last year's COVID-19 mini-budget which saw a record investment of $315.4 million in the electorate.

Mr Marshall said the delivery of today's budget set a solid foundation for prosperity and growth beyond the COVID-19 pandemic.

"This is record-breaking funding - never before have we seen this level of capital funding secured in the Northern Tablelands, especially off the back of consecutive record budgets," Mr Marshall said.

"I'm thrilled to see the funding delivered for the promised Moree and Glen Innes Hospital redevelopments, ensuring we'll see final planning completed and construction work starting in the next 12 months.

"This is a huge result for the Moree and Glen Innes communities, hot on the heels of successful redevelopments at Armidale and Inverell, to improve health services and medical practitioner numbers in the region.
