Victorian Transport Infrastructure Conference 2010
"Focusing on the Victorian Transport Plan - A Year Forward"

The Victorian Transport Plan is now underway.

The Victorian Government is taking action on transport, so that Victorians can have the best transport network in Australia . Delivering the best transport system in Australia will mean Victorians can spend less time commuting and more time with family and friends.

To deliver this goal, the Victorian Government has started to transform the transport network.

The $38 billion plan delivers short, medium and long term projects for Victorian cities, the regional centres, the country towns and the rural areas and provides a significant economic boost to the State now and into the future – with new investment and thousands of direct and indirect jobs.

The Victorian Transport Plan is committed to delivering more trains, better roads, more transport choices and investments into Public Transport, cycling, walking and better urban planning ensuring we remain one of the most liveable cities in the world.

Great progress is being made in the roll out of the $38 billion plan. Projects such as the Peninsular Link has been committed to and fully funded, work has already started on the Regional Rail Link, Arrival of the new trains from overseas which will start operating by the end of this year, extension of south Morang station, announcement of new operators taking over from later this year are all indicative of ensuring that big investments are not just being made but most importantly making sure that the job is being done to deliver these projects and in turn building a better transport network.

The 2nd Annual Victorian Transport Infrastructure Conference will focus on the significant investments that have been committed to within the Victorian Transport Plan and the progress some of these projects have made till date in ensuring a better transport network.

Presentations from leading government and industry specialists will explore the design and planning of key transport projects taking place within the state, the construction and implementation of these projects, and the ongoing maintenance and management process. The discussion topics will cover The Victorian Transport Plan – A Year Forward, public transport development, building a sustainable transport system, managing congestion, case studies on completed and ongoing transport projects, contractors perspectives on various projects, opportunities available with existing and upcoming projects, delivery models used, financing transport projects and the future outlook for the state.

Delegates will learn of the latest in transport projects, hear about the latest in regional public transport developments, and understand the expected growth and the time frame in which these developments will be happening.

The conference will provide its delegates with the perfect opportunity to discuss topics and issues presented and provide a fantastic networking opportunity where transport professionals, operators, contractors, consultants, investors can all learn of the latest developments and milestones that have been achieved a year into the Victorian Transport Plan, share experiences and lessons learned. The conference room will be set up in cabaret style with a question & answer segment in place to encourage and enable delegates' opinions to be presented.
