The freight and logistics industry is an essential part of the national economy, making up 8.6% of Australia's Gross Domestic Product.

An efficient, sustainable and cost-effective freight and logistics industry relies on partnerships with all levels of government and will support our growing economy. Governments play a central role in the long-term planning, provision and management of transport networks that service Australia's growing freight task.
