The ALC’s submission to Victoria’s 2026–30 Climate Change Strategy highlights the vital role freight transport can play in delivering meaningful emissions reductions. While freight accounts for a significant share of Victoria’s transport emissions, there is an opportunity to strengthen the Strategy by explicitly recognising the sector’s potential to support the state’s climate goals. ALC recommends incorporating freight as a priority area, aligning state actions with national freight and decarbonisation strategies, and supporting low- and zero-emissions technologies through targeted infrastructure, planning, and regulatory change. With freight demand continuing to grow, integrating the sector into climate policy is essential to achieving practical, long-term emissions outcomes.
