Once-in-a-generation infrastructure opportunities for foreign companies in Victoria

The Victorian Government is actively inviting foreign investors to participate in an extensive road and rail project pipeline that will deliver system upgrades, new technologies and connections between growing regions. Find out more about opportunities to:

Deliver extensive upgrades to existing assets

Rail network enhancements, track modifications, station and signalling system upgrades. The Victorian Government is investing in the next generation of rolling stock and providing a continued pipeline of work in partnership with local industry.
Expand and upgrade Melbourne’s outer suburban road network. Upgrades to Melbourne’s arterial road and freeway network, focusing on congested roads and corridors, will be a key focus over the next five years.

Develop new energy and supply chain technologies

New technologies that advance the production of low or zero emissions vehicles. Victoria is working to reach net zero emissions by 2050, harnessing innovations from electricity or hydrogen and the development of infrastructure for zero emission vehicles
Transport and logistics technology. Help deliver the technical solutions required to meet growing network demands, from tracking and supply chain communications network satellites and submarine fibre optic cables

Participate in major works that connect the region

Design and construction projects that connect regional Victoria. With regional Victoria’s population expected to almost double by 2051, Victoria is investing in transport infrastructure that will connect local families and local communities.
Major projects that flow to and from neighbouring states and countries. Victoria is the doorway to a robust pipeline of work flowing across Australia and New Zealand, with infrastructure activity at an elevated level for the foreseeable future.
