This chapter is based on common needs identified across four community types:
• Fast-growing Cities (Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth)
• Small Cities and Regional Centres
• Small Towns, Rural Communities and Remote Areas
• Northern Australia and Developing Regions.
It is built around three overarching themes:
• Address disparities in the relative competitiveness of regions and provide access to infrastructure and services that reflect community need.
• Take a network view of place for a more balanced Australia, leading to a higher overall quality of life and greater economic and environmental resilience.
• Reflect the Australian Government's priorities for infrastructure to deliver social and economic benefits, shape productive and liveable cities and provide connectivity to regional and remote Australia.
