Linking Victoria

The Linking Victoria program was launched in 1999 to deliver new transport infrastructure projects and upgrade Victoria's ports, roads, and rail network.

The program formed a strong foundation for Meeting Our Transport Challenges, an action blueprint for shaping Victoria’s transport system into the future released in May 2006.

The Linking Victoria projects were designed to facilitate new jobs and investment across Victoria, as well as encourage more people to use public transport. Many of the projects were delivered in partnership with the private sector. The following projects are ongoing, in delivery, or completed.
