World-class infrastructure is vital to the Australian economy. It underpins the delivery of essential services, drives economic growth, supports social needs and is closely linked to the high quality of life that Australians enjoy today.
The quality of Australia's infrastructure is an indicator of the nation's current and potential economic viability. The benefits and costs associated with infrastructure performance are continuous and, over time, assume major economic significance. It is therefore vital that Australia's infrastructure meets today's needs and through careful planning, maintenance and construction, tomorrow's needs as well.
In 2010, the Infrastructure Report Card for all States and Territories will be released and will rate Transport, Water, Energy, and Telecommunications. At the end of this part of the project, we will be releasing a 2010 Australian Infrastructure Report Card.
