3 reasons why you must attend this conference

1. This is the only event that addresses both the planning and financing aspects of transport infrastructure across Australia’s major states
2. Urban congestion is caused by a lack of planning and financing from the outset of transport projects; this event will focus on the strategies to improve these key elements of transport infrastructure
3. Do you want to be exposed to transport infrastructure projects from a government, road and rail authority, construction, and financier perspective? Then this is the event for you!

The Facts Behind Australia’s Transport Infrastructure:

• The Australian railway network is comprised of 33,819km of track, with the road network comprising a total of 913,000km
• The majority of road tunnels in Australia have been constructed since the 1990's to relieve traffic congestion in metropolitan areas – but in most cases, have failed to serve their purpose
• Urban congestion and transport bottlenecks which have developed in all major cities across Australia, can be attributed to poor financing, planning and project delivery in achieving the necessary transport infrastructure project outcomes

‘The Bureau of Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Economic estimates that urban congestion will cost nearly $20 billion by 2015’
Transport & Logistics News, February 2008

Transport is a highly significant aspect of the infrastructure of the Australian economy. The tendency in Australia has been for infrastructure to be provided on a project-to-project basis with no strategic focus. In the past, road and rail projects have been planned in isolation without sufficient planning frameworks dedicated to the best national solution.
