Infrastructure Australia has released the 2021 Australian Infrastructure Plan, which provides a 15-year roadmap for infrastructure reform and investment.

The Plan aims to deliver infrastructure for a stronger Australia, and support national recovery from the still-unfolding COVID-19 pandemic, as well as bushfires, drought, floods and cyber-attacks that have tested the nation’s resilience in recent years.

It outlines specific reform priorities across the social infrastructure, water, transport, energy, waste and telecommunications sectors. Key themes in the 2021 Plan are:

• Adapting to change and uncertainty
• Harnessing transformative technology and digitalisation
• Delivering public value
• Embracing a diverse geography
• Providing minimum service levels that support quality of life for all
• Empowering customers and leveraging data

The Plan also recognises the opportunity of leveraging Australia’s built environment sector to support Australia’s transition to net zero. It proposes a range of practical measures aimed at encouraging building energy efficiency.
