4th Annual Victorian Transport Infrastructure Conference 2012
28-29 May 2012 Melbourne Convention Exhibition Centre, Melbourne, Victoria

‘Delivering the right projects at the right time’

As a result of failing to properly invest in infrastructure, Victoria is now experiencing an infrastructure backlog to meet growing economic and community needs. The state government has begun planning and investment to address the backlog and realise Victoria's potential, however Commonwealth and private funding will be vital. The Baillieu government’s recent submission to Infrastructure Australia outlines the challenge and the broader agenda of the current government when it comes to Victoria’s transport networks and project planning.
 
Over the 2 days at the VIC Transport Infrastructure Conference, the public and private sector will come together to deliver an informative and exciting program which will discuss the prioritisation, planning and delivery of critical transport infrastructure in Victoria. Sectors of transport infrastructure to be addressed include roads, rails, busways, public transport, ports, freight, along with plenty of other topics including sustainability, winning government business, tendering and PPP’s.
