Infrastructure reform is a continuous process

The 2021 Plan provides a long-term vision supported by a clear roadmap to address the nation's infrastructure challenges and embrace the opportunities of tomorrow. However, it is only one part of the infrastructure reform Journey.

The Plan complements Infrastructure Australia's Infrastructure Priority List.2 This is an authoritative list of nationally significant infrastructure investments Australia needs over the next 15 years. It is a 'live' list that is regularly updated.

Infrastructure Australia is required to produce an updated Australian Infrastructure Audit and corresponding Australian Infrastructure Plan every five years, within two years of each other.

The next Plan is due by 2026. Until then, we will continue to evaluate progress against infrastructure reform. We will also provide research and policy advice to government, and support the adoption and implementation of reform.
