A massive budget of over US$11 billion (A$16.5 billion) is being planned by the Australian Government for transport infrastructure development. The funding will be used for both road and rail improvement works for the next decade.

Of the funding available, $6.97 billion (A$10.1 billion) will be directed to current projects. One of the largest of these current projects is the $2.28 billion (A$3.3 billion) North East Link in Victoria State.

The infrastructure development programme is expected to cut congestion and improve journey times for travellers in Australia.
