Our research program

One of our core roles is to publish original research on infrastructure-related issues. Through our research, we aim to raise the bar for long-term, evidence-based infrastructure planning, as well as stimulate discussion within the community about important infrastructure issues.

Our research will also inform the update of the 30-year infrastructure strategy and provide crucial evidence to support our recommendations.

See a list of our current research below, or visit the Resources page to access all of our previous research reports.

How can you get involved?

We want to consider as many views as possible as we undertake our research. If you’d like to know more about Infrastructure Victoria’s research program please contact enquiries@infrastructurevictoria.com.au
