Under Evaluation
Infrastructure Australia is now operating in accordance with the Guidance on Caretaker Conventions until there is an outcome from the 2025 Federal Election.
During this time, Infrastructure Australia will not be making any announcements, updates, and publishing outcomes on its evaluation of infrastructure proposals or business cases.
For more information about Caretaker Conventions, please visit Guidance on Caretaker Conventions | PM&C
The Assessment Framework is changing in line with amendments to the Infrastructure Australia Act 2008. Find out more here.
The table below shows the business cases that Infrastructure Australia is currently evaluating.
In some cases, we may need to seek further information about a proposed project in order to complete our evaluation. When this happens, we will note in the table below that we are awaiting information, and during this time the evaluation will remain on hold.
