Infrastructure Priority List 2019: projects across Victoria

Monica Gameng   |   February 21, 2019

Infrastructure Australia has recently released the 2019 Infrastructure Priority List which includes up to 121 vital infrastructure projects that could help build the nation. The list includes eight high-priority and 10 priority projects as well as 29 high-priority and 74 priority initiatives covering each State.

High-priority and priority projects are projects that have a full business case completed and positively assessed by the Infrastructure Australia Board, while high-priority and priority initiatives are projects that have not yet completed a full business case and are subject to a rigorous assessment.

This post will cover the projects in Victoria included in the infrastructure Priority List 2019.
