Transitioning from IMS – the Department’s Infrastructure Management System – to a New and Improved User Portal and System

On 19 August 2024, the Department introduced a new Reporting and Program Management (RPM) portal to manage nationally funded infrastructure investments.

New Capability to Enhance Submission and Management of Land Infrastructure Projects

The portal is a modern, web-based gateway for State and Territory Government to:

  • Submit Project Proposal Requests (PPRs) – now called Funding Proposals
  • Upload Progress Reports and Milestone Evidence
  • Claim milestone payments for land transport infrastructure projects

The portal will be interfaced with a new internal system to manage Australia’s infrastructure investments. This modern system will centralise communications, enabling the Department to communicate with Local, State and Territory Government through the portal, as opposed to email.

The department is now focusing efforts on enhancing functionality and broadening use of the Portal to Local Government. This will enable submission of funding proposals and claiming milestone payments for ‘sub-programs’ including: Black Spots, Roads to Recovery, Bridges Renewal Program the Heavy Vehicle Safety and Productivity Programs, Safer Local Roads and Infrastructure Program and the new national Active Transport Fund. This Release is planned to ‘go live’ in August 2025.

Working with our State Government Partners

We are committed to working closely with our Local, State and Territory Government partners. As we now begin work on Release Two, we will continue to engage with State and Territory Government agencies to identify opportunities for improvement, resolve any issues and capture ideas for future enhancements to the portal.
