Industry Submissions Sought for Regional Strengths and Gaps Project

Infrastructure Australia has recently commenced a Regional Strengths and Gaps project, aiming to provide a national view of the diverse strengths and infrastructure gaps facing Australia’s regions, to identify priority areas for future planning and analysis. By identifying these gaps, Infrastructure Australia hopes to encourage governments, industry, and the community to come forward with solutions to address these challenges.

The project includes regions as defined by the Regional Development Australia (RDA) boundaries, focusing on 48 regions, including the Northern Inland, and consulting with state committees. An important part of this project is capturing the views of industries working in our regions to inform the prioritisation process via this open submission process. Your submission will be used as one of the inputs into the identification and prioritisation process for each RDA.

Following a national consultation process, a Regional Strengths and Gaps report will be released by Infrastructure Australia. The report will detail the strengths and prioritised infrastructure gaps for each RDA.

Submissions can be made through the Infrastructure Australia website by Friday the 16th of April. If you wish to provide feedback for multiple regions, you will need to complete a separate form for each region. If you have any questions you can contact Infrastructure Australia at mail@infrastructureaustralia.gov.au.
