Transport: The Economic Enabler
Australia’s economy is driven by the transport industry.
Transport sits at the heart of Australia’s productivity, competitiveness, and quality of life. As the nation’s most critical economic enabler, a resilient, efficient and safe transport system underpins everything; from the movement of people and goods, to the functioning of supply chains and the strength of regional communities.
Transport: The Economic Enabler (National Priority #1) is the first in a three-part series of events that brings together industry leaders, government decision-makers, researchers and practitioners to explore the essential levers shaping the next decade of Australia’s transport transformation. This event will unpack the major drivers of national prosperity: skills, safety, freight performance, financial sustainability and modal shift, and investigate how coordinated action across these priority areas, can unlock economic opportunity.
