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 all governments that will provide a coordinated approach across all freight modes when considering strategic freight priorities.
In relation to climate, Australia will decarbonise transport and increase resilience. It will expand on the risk assessment by conducting supply chain resilience modelling on a 5-yearly basis, incorporating the latest data on freight demand and climate risk, and invest in the whole-of-life resilience of land transport infrastructure to address emerging issues associated with natural disasters, climate risk, and security, thereby enabling freight and supply chain resilience.
