December 2020 Victoria’s Draft 30-Year Infrastructure Strategy Volume 2: Appendices About us Infrastructure Victoria is an independent advisory body with three functions: \ preparing a 30-Year infrastructure strategy for Victoria, which is refreshed every three to five years \ providing written advice to government on specific infrastructure matters \ publishing research on infrastructure-related issues. Infrastructure Victoria also supports the development of sectoral infrastructure plans by government departments and agencies. The aim of Infrastructure Victoria is to take a long-term, evidence-based view of infrastructure planning and inform community discussion about infrastructure provision. Infrastructure Victoria does not directly oversee or fund infrastructure projects. Aboriginal acknowledgment Infrastructure Victoria acknowledges the Traditional Owners of Country in Victoria and pays respect to their elders past and present, as well as elders of other Aboriginal communities. We recognise that the state’s infrastructure is built on land that has been managed by Aboriginal people for millennia.

For the transport sector, we further categorise those relating to public transport; active transport and micro-mobility; roads, parking and private vehicles; and freight. We also include a tenth sector: land use planning, to capture potential changes relating to the land use planning system. Some draft recommendations will appear more than once where they pertain to more than one sector. Vol 2. Appendices – Appendix A 05 01. Transport 1B. Active transport 51.
