2021 Australian Infrastructure Plan

The 2021 Australian Infrastructure Plan is a practical and actionable roadmap for infrastructure reform.

It is intended to deliver infrastructure for a stronger Australia, and support the national recovery from the still-unfolding COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the bushfires, drought, floods and cyber-attacks that have tested the nation's resilience in recent years.

Infrastructure Australia’s vision for 2036 is to have infrastructure that improves the sustainability of the country’s economic, social, environmental and governance settings, builds quality of life for all Australians, and is resilient to shocks and emerging stresses.

Key opportunities include:

  • Supporting growth outside our largest cities, in regional centres and northern Australia

  • Investing in transformative technology to deliver affordable and sustainable infrastructure services

  • Promoting changes to the behaviour around infrastructure use, empowering Australians to make sustainable choices

  • Greater transparency and coordination of the project pipeline and reforms to improve industry productivity

  • More collaborative models of infrastructure delivery to support productivity and innovation.
