Project Description:
The National Freight and Supply Chain Strategy (Strategy) sets the agenda for a collaborative approach to deliver government action across all freight modes. The Strategy aims to ensure freight and supply chains continue to provide reliable access to vital goods and materials from across the globe, as well as support valuable export supply chains that are vital to Australia’s economy.
This National Action Plan (Action Plan) sits alongside the Strategy and details key actions to be delivered by governments to achieve the goals of the Strategy. The Action Plan is informed by the priorities of all governments and the freight and supply chain sector and will focus on four National Priority Action Areas. In addition, safety is recognised as a cross-cutting issue. The safety of workers is at the forefront in all freight operations.
The actions contained in this Action Plan will help ensure future investment decision making is informed by a strong evidence base. The Action Plan sets out 14 actions that will be delivered across these priority areas, many also incorporating safety elements. These actions are nationally significant, requiring the active collaboration of governments and industry to deliver. These actions aim to achieve whole of network and supply chain outcomes. In implementing these actions, governments will consider how to incorporate First Nations perspectives. A comprehensive implementation plan will be developed and published, outlining how these actions will be delivered.
While the Strategy and Action Plan are reviewed every five years, the Action Plan will remain a living document over this period. As actions are completed, new ones may be introduced, though the four National Priority Action Areas, together with safety, will remain in place, and be reconsidered at the five-year review.
