Regional Infrastructure and Community Transitions

We optimise infrastructure investments and support community transitions to unlock resilient and prosperous regional futures.

We work with regional communities to help identify future options and adapt to change. Our transport logistics infrastructure assessments support cost-effective and resilient supply chains for a wide range of commodities and help all levels of government and industry prioritise investment in regional infrastructure. Through participatory approaches, we help communities in Australia and our region design and transition to futures that are more sustainable and resilient.
