The Australian Logistics Council’s submission to the Productivity Commission’s Interim Report: Creating a More Dynamic and Resilient Economy calls for urgent regulatory reform to remove inefficiencies that undermine freight productivity, increase costs, and constrain investment. It highlights the need to harmonise heavy vehicle rules, streamline fragmented rail access arrangements, cut duplicative planning approvals, and improve cross-jurisdictional workforce mobility. ALC supports setting statutory approval timeframes, embedding resilience and fuel security in regulatory frameworks, and introducing independent scrutiny, digital compliance, and regulatory sandboxes to accelerate innovation and decarbonisation. These reforms are essential to lowering costs, boosting competitiveness, and building a resilient freight network capable of supporting Australia’s net zero transition
