Economic growth

The Australian economy is projected to grow by 84 per cent, from $1.4 trillion in 2011 to $2.6 trillion in 2031, a growth rate of 3.1 per cent per year.

This growth in our population and economy will make us richer as a country. However, it will also create unprecedented infrastructure challenges.

Nationwide population increases and ongoing prosperity will be the big drivers of an increasing need for road space, public transport capacity, freight capacity and improved gateways for trade.
