FEATURED REPORTS
Valuing Australia's Transport Network
March 2026
This inaugural report from Transport Australia that makes the case for seeing transport as more than a collection of assets or projects. It highlights the scale, significance and everyday value of the land transport network that underpins national productivity, connectivity and quality of life.
By reframing transport as a critical national enabler, the report calls for a broader conversation about how we value, plan and invest in the network that keeps Australia moving.
Rethinking Transport Infrastructure Delivery
This report is a strategic roadmap for boosting productivity in Australia’s transport infrastructure delivery.
As government budgets tighten and demand for new infrastructure continues to grow, it is increasingly essential to deliver better value, faster outcomes, and improved industry capacity.
Roads Australia identifies 17 practical reforms that are within the control of Australian Commonwealth, state and territory governments as well as industry.
On the road to net-zero
In a new national policy platform, Roads Australia has outlined 10 key recommendations to help reduce whole-of-life emissions for transport infrastructure.
Alongside harmonisation of measurement guidance and decision-making frameworks, a central theme is the need to ensure industry has an opportunity to bring forward innovation at multiple stages in the project lifecycle.
