About the strategy

Victoria's 30-year infrastructure strategy provides a practical roadmap for action over the next 30 years across a broad range of public policy areas including housing, energy, transport and social infrastructure.

Preparing a 30-year infrastructure strategy for the state is one of our 3 key functions as an independent advisory body. It is refreshed every 3 to 5 years.
