The Australian Government invest in major land transport infrastructure across Australia through its Infrastructure Investment Program.

The Government is taking important steps to make our infrastructure pipeline more sustainable and to ensure we don’t further strain a sector already facing labour constraints, inflationary pressures and cost increases due to supply chain challenges.

The Government is working closely with state and territory governments to achieve these objectives and deliver a sustainable, credible infrastructure pipeline. To help meet this objective, the Government commissioned an Independent Strategic Review of the Infrastructure Investment Program .

Outcomes of the review process were considered in the context of the 2023-24 Mid-Year Economic Fiscal Outlook process and can be found at Nation-building infrastructure for a better Australia | Ministers for the Department of Infrastructure.
