Harnessing major infrastructure investment

The Australian Government is driving forward with significant infrastructure investments that will develop sustainable communities and enable long-term economic growth.

Australia's rail industry, for example, is vital to the economy. In 2023 the market value stood at USD 38.63 billion, this is only expected to grow further and is forecast to reach USD 70.08 billion by 2032.
