The Federal Government has promised an additional $15.2 billion in new commitments to infrastructure projects in this year’s Budget, and more than $10 billion in spending over the next decade on transport infrastructure.
These transport infrastructure projects include:
- $2 billion for Great Western Highway Upgrade - Katoomba to Lithgow - Construction of East and West Sections in New South Wales;
- $2 billion investment to deliver a new Melbourne Intermodal Freight Terminal
- $400 million for Bruce Highway in Queensland;
- $237.5 million for METRONET: Hamilton Street / Wharf Street Grade Separations and Elevation of Associated Stations in Western Australia;
- $161.6 million for the Truro Bypass in South Australia;
- $150 million for National Network Highway Upgrades in the Northern Territory;
- $80 million for Bass Highway Safety and Freight Efficiency Upgrades in Tasmania; and
- $26.5 million for William Hovell Drive Duplication in the Australian Capital Territory.
There is also new funding for the Federal Office of Road Safety, earmarked to get $5.1 million over the next four years.
The Budget also promises an additional $1 billion for its road safety program, which the Government says is now worth $3 billion.
The Federal Government says the new Intermodal Freight Terminal in Melbourne will support both the Victorian and national freight networks, creating up to 1,350 jobs during peak construction and a further 550 jobs during peak operation.
Additional capacity delivered by the intermodal terminal will help meet the future freight needs of Victoria and Australia’s domestic and international supply chains, as well as realising the full benefits of Inland Rail.
Federal Minister for Infrastructure and Transport Michael McCormack says this “transformational infrastructure” will increase the productivity, efficiency and capacity of the national freight network. It will also support the Australian Government's National Freight and Supply Chain Strategy.
It also expects to take thousands of trucks off the road under the Intermodal Freight Terminal proposal as a result of better freight efficiency.
