Australian Freight Data Hub funding and plan for design announced

The Australian Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Cities and Regional Development has announced its plan to design a national freight data hub.

Over the next two years a design project will deliver:

• An agreed approach on critical design elements
• A business case including refined options for Government consideration
• A roadmap for implementation, and
• System specifications, including hosting and interface considerations

As part of the design process, the Department will also be integrating pilot projects and other data initiatives into a prototype hub to test and inform the design and business case for implementation.

A discussion paper will be released in early August 2019.
