The Department of Transport and Planning (DTP) has land and infrastructure vested in it for public purposes under various transport related legislation, such as the Road Management Act 2004 (Vic) and Transport Integration Act 2010 (Vic). DTP-controlled land and infrastructure plays a crucial role in the development and maintenance of the State’s transport network, contributing to public mobility, connectivity and safety.
Recognising the State’s policies aimed at promoting economic growth, job creation and environmental sustainability, DTP supports the responsible commercial use of DTP-controlled land and infrastructure that align with those objectives. As such, DTP may consider proposals from private proponents for the commercial use of DTP-controlled land and infrastructure that align with DTP’s core responsibility and broader State goals.
These guidelines provide the framework for the submission, assessment, and approval of proposals. The aim is to ensure that such projects align with government policy, deliver value-for-money, and meet community needs while upholding transparency, probity, and fairness throughout the process.
