    15 February 2007 Ms Zoe Wilson Senior Advisor Office of the Deputy Prime Minister & Minister for Transport Parliament House Canberra ACT 2600 Dear Zoe, RE:- Auslink National Land Transport Programme Phase II 1. Introduction – Auslink Generally Infrastructure Partnerships Australia (IPA) appreciates the opportunity to make an informal submission to you in regard to our views on the priority projects for Phase II of the Auslink National Land Transport programme. IPA applauds the Deputy Prime Minister for the foresight and national leadership that has been brought into the infrastructure debate. The Auslink programme is the first time in Australia’s history that the Government has developed a strategic plan to streamline freight links between production and population centres, and producers and our nation’s port facilities. Further, the Auslink programme’s adherence to principles of transparency and contestability in terms of private sector involvement in ownership, financing and operation of national land transport infrastructure assets is commendable. This informal submission will primarily focus on specific projects. In line with the broad policy objective of Auslink, this paper will only focus on projects that will supplement supply networks. However, this informal submission also suggests a number of broader policy issues which may warrant attention as you move to lay the foundations for the next round of investment in Australia’s national transportation system. 2. A Change to the Policy Framework In moving forward toward the second phase of the project, there are a number of policy concepts which may be worth revisiting; As you are in essence seeking specific projects, these policy imperatives will be dealt with succinctly; o Regulatory regime for Infrastructure – Taxation & Equity As a broad policy objective, the Commonwealth could look at models apart from (or in conjunction with) significant s.96 (special purpose) grants to the states.

  • Submission 8
    Omega transport plan: Linking Victoria and Tasmania Peter Brohier, National Public Lobby. Peter Brohier, a retired Melbourne lawyer and founder and convener of the National Public Lobby concept, today called on the Prime Minister and the Premiers of Victoria and Tasmania to adopt the Omega plan before spending billions without an agreed overall transport framework for the specific development of south eastern Australia. The National Public Lobby,”NPL” concept aims to raise nationally significant ideas with government that substantially impact on business and the community. The NPL is a vital component of any modern democracy. It allows community concerns to be put to government in a similar well argued way to that already adopted by industry. NPL, as Future role and contribution of regional capitals to Australia Submission 70 - Attachment 2 a clearing house, provides the necessary efficient balance between often divergent views allowing the parliamentary process access to well-considered argument from a far wider stakeholder base before making final decisions - also having to deal with sometimes largely dispirit and ineffective ideas across a constituency. In this context, Mr Brohier said, “Omega is a plan for the movement of both people and freight across south eastern Australia and will take advantage of combining the strengths of Victoria and Tasmania and make better use of existing infrastructure, relatively cheap green field sites and sea crossings. Integrating state economies… The scheme will integrate the two states economically through the fair movement of both people and freight meeting the original purpose of federation. The impact on business and investment and jobs is expected to be substantial.

  • Freight Futures: Victorian Freight Network Strategy for a More
    Freight Futures Victorian Freight Network Strategy for a more prosperous and liveable Victoria Minister’s Message The ability to move goods effi ciently, seamlessly and sustainably around Victoria makes a signifi cant contribution to the prosperity and liveability of our State. Transport costs fl ow directly on to the costs of everyday goods on our supermarket shelves and affect the competitiveness of our export businesses. The location of freight activity areas and the way we move goods between them – the modes, the types of vehicles, the routes and the times of day – can also have a signifi cant impact on the amenity of particular communities and the liveability of the State generally. As Victoria’s population and economy continue to grow strongly, so does the size of the freight task, placing added pressure on existing infrastructure and systems and requiring us to look to the future to ensure that we make the right decisions now. For these reasons, all Victorians have an interest in ensuring that our freight networks, systems and infrastructure continue to perform well in meeting the current and future freight task. Freight Futures is the Victorian Government’s long term plan for achieving this objective. Freight Futures recognises that the movement of freight is primarily a private sector activity and that the Government’s role is best focussed on aspects of the task on which it can have a material and benefi cial impact. For this reason, Freight Futures does not attempt to address every aspect of freight supply chain development and management, but rather focuses on the freight network – its planning, delivery and management.

  • Wodonga City Council (PDF 52KB)
    SUBMISSION TO THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES STANDING COMMITTEE ON TRANSPORT AND REGIONAL SERVICES “INTEGRATION OF REGIONAL ROAD AND RAIL NETWORKS AND THEIR CONNECTIVITY TO PORTS” BY WODONGA CITY COUNCIL (MAY 2005) INTRODUCTION Wodonga’s key location on the Hume corridor is arguably one of the most strategic and important in Australia in terms of freight and distribution movement for the Eastern seaboard. Seventy or more per cent of Australia’s population located within the triangle formed by Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide can be reached by overnight transport shift. The City of Wodonga has a vital interest in Regional Road and Rail Networks and their connectivity to Ports. Wodonga is a prime example of the importance of regional viability and population settlement servicing a region in excess of 160,000. Many large companies including Masterfoods, Visy, National Foods, Woolworths (Distribution), and Parker Hannifin have a strong presence in Wodonga. Council has recognized the import of Wodoga’s location by establishing a major National Distribution Centre known as Logic Wodonga on 440 hectares of prime industrial zoned land 14 kilometres West of Wodonga. The establishment of Logic is the main thrust of this submission. THE ROLE OF INTERMODAL FREIGHT HUBS IN REGIONAL AREAS Influencing Factors Regional Inter-modals are expected to play an ever increasing part in the supply chain as ports and Capital City entry points and manufacturing bases become more and more congested. Road freight demands will increase, placing more pressure on the transport system and consequential outcomes such as higher road maintenance costs, increased incidence of accidents and pollution.

    South Australia’s Freight Transport Infrastructure Moving Freight – Setting a Strategic Framework for the Future March 2006 Executive Summary South Australia’s ability to achieve its maximum growth potential is linked to the timely development of efficient and cost-effective transport infrastructure. In this update to the inaugural South Australia’s Freight Transport Infrastructure: Principles and Project Priorities released last year, the South Australian Freight Council (SAFC) has identified seven projects which, in its view, are urgently required to ensure the State continues to grow – free of costly transport bottlenecks that reduce the State’s competitiveness. The transport initiatives identified by SAFC, with an overall cost in the order of $2.8 to $4.2 billion, comprise the centrepiece of the Council’s submission to the State Government which has been developing a Transport Plan. In the absence of financial support for the projects identified, and given that efficient transport infrastructure is integral to intrastate, interstate and overseas trade, SAFC believes the State Government’s Strategic Plan goal of trebling SA’s exports to $25 billion by 2013 will not be realised. Ensuring the free flow of commercial and private sector transport will also deliver significant environmental and social gains for the community with a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions high amongst them. The Council also believes the Commonwealth Government has “short-changed” South Australia over other States, with the lowest per capita payments for new road and rail developments under the Auslink funding program. Our State has many critically-needed projects that should be more appropriately funded under the scheme.
