Productivity, resilience, decarbonisation and data set as priorities for industry and government action.
Federal, state, and territory infrastructure and transport ministers have agreed a refreshed Strategy and new National Action Plan.
This will see the delivery of 14 nationally significant actions where governments and industry need to work together. The actions focus on:
- productivity
- resilience
- decarbonisation
- data.
The refreshed Strategy addresses the recommendations of the review conducted in 2023-2024. It also includes learnings from major supply chain disruptions since the original Strategy was released in 2019-including the COVID-19 pandemic, extreme weather events, skills shortages and more.
Australia's freight task is growing with domestic freight projected to increase by 26% between 2020 and 2050. The National Freight and Supply Chain Strategy is a holistic, coordinated and multi-modal approach to freight and supply chains agreed by all jurisdictions-the refreshed Strategy has built on the strong foundation of the original strategy with tangible actions.
