Figures show Victorian taxpayers were slugged with a significant advertising bill during the former Napthine government's final months in power.

The Victorian Government's official annual advertising report to be released this week, revealed a total of almost $95 million was spent for the 2014-15 financial year by Victorian departments.

Almost $5 million was spent on the Coalition's "Moving Victoria" campaign which promoted the former Napthine coalition government's infrastructure projects, including the controversial East West Link, which was dumped by the Andrews' Labor Government.

Victorian Special Minister of State Gavin Jennings said it was not money well spent.

"It was an appalling waste of taxpayers money," he said.

"The Napthine government decided to go on a spending splurge in the last few months before the election, more than $36 million spent on advertising that had no public value.

"It was talking about projects that were on the never never and pretending that they were current."

Despite the $4.9 million spent on promoting Moving Victoria, the figures showed overall government advertising was lower under the Napthine government than the previous Labor Brumby government.

Public funds spent on advertising dropped to below $100,000 from 2012, two years after the Napthine government came into power.

Mr Jennings said the Government planned to introduce legislation in the future to curb government spending on advertising "that does not have a community benefit".

"I think the track record of all governments needs to tidied up," he said.
