• Manage environmental & climate impacts
• Manage energy security & oil vulnerability
• Protect community amenity
• Clear direction for freight
• Moving freight efficiently
• Multi-modal focus
• Working collaboratively with

The freight challenge
• Govt agencies have strong interest but limited
direct influence
• Influence primarily through stewardship
• Industry has critical role moving/storing freight
• Separate/interdependent
roles
• Optimum outcomes require
shared direction and
collaboration
Principles for development

• Open mind & process flexibility
• Establish & build partnerships
• Connect with industry
• Share information and findings
• Be inclusive - consult broadly
• Inform stakeholders & provide feedback
