Productivity, resilience, decarbonisation and data set as priorities for industry and government action.
Federal, state, and territory infrastructure and transport ministers have agreed a refreshed Strategy and new National Action Plan.
This will see the delivery of 14 nationally significant actions where governments and industry need to work together. The actions focus on:
- productivity
- resilience
- decarbonisation
- data.
The refreshed Strategy addresses the recommendations of the review conducted in 2023–2024. It also includes learnings from major supply chain disruptions since the original Strategy was released in 2019—including the COVID-19 pandemic, extreme weather events, skills shortages and more.
Australia's freight task is growing with domestic freight projected to increase by 26% between 2020 and 2050. The National Freight and Supply Chain Strategy is a holistic, coordinated and multi-modal approach to freight and supply chains agreed by all jurisdictions—the refreshed Strategy has built on the strong foundation of the original strategy with tangible actions.
