What Infrastructure Victoria does

Infrastructure Victoria is an independent statutory authority established under the Infrastructure Victoria Act 2015 and headquartered in Melbourne, Australia. The organization conducts research on infrastructure issues and provides evidence-based advice to the Victorian Government, with a legislated mandate to prepare and update Victoria's 30-year infrastructure strategy every 3 to 5 years. Its primary deliverable is the 30-year strategy—a cross-sectoral statewide plan covering transport, housing, energy, water, health, education, climate adaptation and regional development—most recently refreshed in November 2025 with 45 recommendations and 8 future options, building on prior strategies published in 2016 (94 recommendations in the 2021 update version) at an estimated capital envelope of approximately $100 billion over 30 years.

Its core analytical asset is the Victorian Land Use and Transport Integration (VLUTI) model, developed jointly with Victoria University and Arup/AECOM, which integrates land-use and transport dynamics to estimate the full cost and benefit impact of infrastructure policies and projects. Infrastructure Victoria supplements this with a library of 86 published research resources, thematic reports (urban development scenarios, post-pandemic commute, gas infrastructure transition, regional profiles, Aboriginal health infrastructure, climate/extreme weather risk, social and community health infrastructure) and stakeholder consultation campaigns that have engaged 500+ participants and received 300+ written submissions on recent strategy drafts.

The entity does not sell products or services and generates no commercial revenue. It is funded through Victorian Government appropriations and distributes its research via its website, free downloadable reports, newsletters, webinars, public consultation processes and direct advisory engagement with the Victorian Government and its 79 local councils. Governance is provided by a 7-member board (4 non-government, 3 public sector members), chaired by Lucia Cade, with Jonathan Spear as CEO and Jill Riseley AM as Deputy CEO.
