Victoria’s 30-year draft infrastructure strategy 2025–2055 provides a practical roadmap of policies, reforms and projects that can deliver benefits to Victoria’s communities, economy and the environment over the decades ahead. The strategy makes 43 draft recommendations and provides 7 future options to the Victorian Government on the state’s infrastructure priorities. This includes housing, energy, transport, health, social infrastructure and the environment. 

The draft strategy recommendations aim to meet the infrastructure needs of current and future Victorians. They also recommend major changes to how the Victorian Government plans, builds and maintains its infrastructure.

Victoria already has a lot of high-quality infrastructure, including world-class cultural and sporting facilities. But there are areas where existing infrastructure does not meet Victoria’s needs, such as in social housing, public transport and community infrastructure like libraries and aquatic centres. The biggest challenges and opportunities facing Victoria’s infrastructure were researched to develop the recommendations. These were analysed alongside existing government policy directions and recent developments to identify the infrastructure priorities where Victorian Government action is most needed to make a difference.

The draft infrastructure strategy was open for consultation from 4 March – 28 April 2025. The draft recommendations and future options will be updated based on community and stakeholder feedback.
