Infrastructure Victoria, the independent statutory authority responsible for providing advice and guidance to decision making on Victoria’s infrastructure needs and priorities, has recently released its draft 30 year strategy plan.
The preliminary draft which encourages community and stakeholder engagement is open for consultation and discussion and will be finalised and presented to parliament by the end of 2016.
As part of their investment priority, Infrastructure Victoria nominated the following three specific areas:
- Increasing densities in established areas to make better use of existing infrastructure.
- Introducing a comprehensive transport pricing regime to manage demands on the network.
- Investing in social and affordable housing for vulnerable Victorians to significantly increase supply.
For the full details, you can read the 30-year infrastructure document as well as Infrastructure Victoria’s preliminary assessment of various infrastructure project options.
