New planning and pricing models

By 2036, the Australian Government and state and territory governments should collectively plan, prioritise and manage freight and passenger transport infrastructure so it connects seamlessly across Jurisdictional borders.

For example, the same train and driver could operate between the Sydney and Melbourne central business districts.

Governments will price road and public transport use based on how far people travel and the impacts their travel choices have on other network users, local communities and the natural environment.

Revenue from transport users should be reinvested in transport services, allowing improvements to transport assets and services.

Funding decisions should align to the movement and place outcomes governments expect from budget allocations for all parts of Australia.
