5th Annual VICTORIAN TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURE
CONFERENCE 2013
19-20 June 2013 Melbourne Convention Exhibition Centre, Melbourne, Victoria

‘Reclaiming Victoria as the state on the move’

The 5th Annual Victorian Transport Infrastructure Conference will be held on the 19th-20th June at the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre. Major transport projects shape the way communities grow and over the 2 days at the VIC Transport Infrastructure Conference, the public and private sector will come together to deliver an informative program which will discuss the prioritisation, planning and delivery of critical transport infrastructure projects.

Victoria faces numerous transport challenges which if left neglected, will constrain the growth and opportunities available to all Victorians. With an increasing population comes increasing demands on existing infrastructure.  The metropolitan rail network is close to capacity, recent upgrades to the West Gate-M1 corridor is a bandaid solution to the critical need for alternative corridors to funnel eastwest transport demands. Victoria is a key freight and logistics centre for Australia, but capacity at the Port of Melbourne is constrained. Whilst Melbourne Airport has adequate capacity for more flights there is limited capacity in road access, which still remains the major transport mode to Melbourne Airport.

At the 5th Annual Victorian Transport Infrastructure Conference you will hear up to the minute information on Victoria’s current and proposed transport projects, alternative funding frameworks  as well as proposed changes in how we manage and build transport systems.
