Strategy objectives
We consulted Victorians on the objectives
We asked Victorians to help us shape the objectives of this updated infrastructure strategy. They told us about infrastructure goals that are important to them. The consultation feedback informed the following objectives, as shown in Figure 1. We documented this consultation in our Strategy objectives engagement report.
Figure 1: Victoria’s infrastructure strategy objectives are equally important
In developing this strategy, we engaged with the community and stakeholders in several ways:
- We hosted a Young People's Forum to hear from Victorians aged between 15 and 25, because a 30-year infrastructure strategy will most affect their futures.
- We heard from regional Victorians at stakeholder workshops and learnt directly from local community representatives about their distinct infrastructure challenges and opportunities.
- We held discussions with First Peoples’ representatives including Registered Aboriginal Parties and Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations, who shared First Peoples’ perspectives and goals.
- We consulted with experts in different infrastructure sectors and government departments to get accurate and up-to-date information about Victoria’s infrastructure.
- We asked for feedback on a draft version of our strategy. This included by calling for submissions and hosting webinars and workshops. We document this in our Consultation summary report.

These objectives can help guide Victoria’s future
We used 6 objectives to guide the development of our recommendations. These objectives helped us prioritise the most important issues for Victorians. They helped us navigate the trade-offs involved in recommending infrastructure projects and policies to help steer Victoria's future.
The recommendations can help Victoria achieve these objectives. Many recommendations support multiple objectives. These recommendations give the Victorian Government practical advice for infrastructure to meet Victoria’s current and future needs.
