  • 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.
