The Victorian Government has sought Commonwealth funding for a number of key transport infrastructure projects in its recent Priority Infrastructure Submission to Infrastructure Australia.
Six major priority projects highlighted in the submission include:
-
Melbourne Metro
-
East West Link
-
M80 Ring Road Upgrade to improve the 38km Western and Metropolitan Ring Roads
-
Dandenong Rail Capacity Program
-
Port of Hastings; and
-
Western Interstate Freight Terminal
The Property Council has argued strongly for increased investment in Victoria’s infrastructure base and maintains that this will be crucial to ensuring Victoria’s success and vitality. A recent research report entitled Securing Victoria’s Future – A Program to Plan, Fund and Deliver Infrastructure identified the need for a solid pipeline of infrastructure projects.
