Victoria’s long-term economic and community prosperity will depend in part on its ability to plan and invest strategically in the infrastructure needed to support population growth, new communities, employment opportunities and broader economic development.

Against this backdrop, this discussion will bring together senior business, government and community leaders to explore the role of trunk enabling infrastructure in supporting Victoria’s future growth and competitiveness.

Strategic investment in enabling infrastructure has the potential to deliver benefits well beyond the infrastructure itself. Timely planning, funding and delivery can unlock housing and employment opportunities, support the development of new communities, provide greater certainty for businesses and investors, and enable more efficient and sustainable patterns of growth. 

The discussion will explore the challenges and opportunities associated with coordinating major infrastructure investment, including how governments, industry and communities can work together to ensure infrastructure is delivered ahead of, or alongside, growth. It will also consider the policy, planning and investment settings needed to support Victoria’s changing economic and demographic needs.

Be part of a forward-looking discussion about how Victoria can use strategic infrastructure planning and investment to unlock growth, support new communities and strengthen the state’s long-term economic and social prosperity.
