Reform Series

Infrastructure Australia advocates for reform on important issues including the planning, funding, delivery and use of our nation’s infrastructure. We continue to make the case for recommendations in the Australian Infrastructure Plan through our Reform Series papers. These papers provide  detailed research and advice intended to help chart a pathway to reform.

So far, we have published eight papers in the infrastructure Reform Series:
