The Australian Logistics Council’s 2026–27 Pre-Budget Submission sets out a targeted reform agenda to lift national productivity, strengthen supply chain resilience and support freight decarbonisation. It highlights that fragmented regulation, constrained freight corridors, shortages of well-located industrial land, energy transition barriers and workforce pressures are undermining the efficiency and reliability of Australia’s end-to-end supply chain and logistics system. The submission emphasises the need for nationally coordinated, high-return reforms—including accelerated heavy vehicle access reform, corridor-based infrastructure investment, improved data integration and enabling energy and workforce policies—to maximise the performance of existing assets and support long-term economic competitiveness.
