15TH VICTORIAN TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURE
CONFERENCE 2026

17 - 18 June | Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre

Connecting Victoria

Victoria is Australia’s fastest growing state, requiring transport infrastructure systems geared towards meeting increased demand.

$7.3 billion has been allocated in the 2025-26 Victorian Budget towards delivering transport infrastructure projects that relieve road and rail congestion and support Victoria’s growth.

Against this backdrop, the 15th Victorian Transport Infrastructure Conference returns to the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre on the 17th and 18th of June 2026.

During the two-day conference, over 20 senior-level professionals will provide key insights into the infrastructure projects shaping the state, including port, road, rail and airport projects. Potential solutions for future challenges will also be discussed.

Join us and network with decision-makers, gain valuable insights, and be part of shaping Victoria’s transport infrastructure future.
