The report summarises the results of detailed transport network modelling undertaken by Veitch Lister Consulting on behalf of Infrastructure Australia for the 2019 Australian Infrastructure Audit. The modelling was undertaken for the nation’s six largest urban conurbations, defined as an extended urban area. 

The 2019 Audit covers transport, energy, water, telecommunications and – for the first time – social infrastructure, and looks at the major challenges and opportunities facing Australia’s infrastructure over the next 15 years and beyond. We have presented our findings in terms that matter to users, by focusing on outcomes for them. Our hope is that this enhanced focus on users, and the role infrastructure can play in improving their quality of life, helps to drive better decisions that are rooted in the long-term interests of Australians.

The Infrastructure Priority List is a critical reference point for the most important infrastructure investments Australia needs over the next 15 years.

This is the first in a series of annual reports that examines progress against specific indicators of productivity, sustainability and liveability in Australian cities. It draws together existing data and information across a range of economic, social and environmental parameters to provide a comprehensive picture of 18 Australian cities with populations over 100,000.
