Freight & Trade Alliance (FTA) and the Australian Peak Shippers Association (APSA) have received advice from the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Communications that the development of a prototype National Freight Data Hub website, and the implementation roadmap and business case are progressing on track for completion by the end of the year.
The department has released an Options Discussion Paper setting out a spectrum of design elements for the Hub across data, technology, governance, funding and regulation for feedback - refer HERE
The department has engaged PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) Australia to assist with the design of options for the Hub including the management of two webinars where stakeholders can participate in a briefing session on the Hub design elements.
The Hub will increase the evidence base for investing in infrastructure where it's needed and making better operational decisions. To that end, the department looks forward to receiving input to ensure the design meets users' needs to generate those efficiency and performance improvements.
