The Infrastructure Needs and Optimisation Assessment, prepared for the MRFH, focuses on improving the efficiency, safety, and sustainability of the region’s freight and haulage network that supports its 170,000-hectare softwood plantation estate and major processing facilities across NSW and Victoria. The report identifies $118.8 million in priority road infrastructure upgrades and highlights opportunities to enhance transport productivity through the use of High Productivity Vehicles (HPVs) and performance-based standards. It also emphasizes the importance of strategic road and logistics investments to sustain the $3.8 billion regional forest and wood products industry, reduce emissions, and minimise heavy vehicle interactions with other road users. Together, the studies provide a strong evidence base for government and industry planning to support sustainable forestry expansion and infrastructure optimisation in the Murray Region.
