Australian freight infrastructure development

Overview

Australia is implementing various infrastructure upgrades to enhance freight and supply chain networks. In Victoria, projects include strengthening bridges along the Princes Highway West to support forestry, timber, and dairy industries, as well as the completion of the $22.5 million Goulburn Valley Link Freight Precinct, which features an intermodal terminal connected to the Port of Melbourne.

Rail developments are also progressing. In regional Victoria, the Inland Rail project has completed its first site in the Beveridge to Albury Tranche 2 section at Seymour, involving track realignment to accommodate double-stacked trains. Meanwhile, in Western Australia, planning has begun for rail upgrades intended to connect the future Westport container terminal with the existing Perth network.
