ALTERNATIVE FUNDING OF ROAD PROJECTS IN AUSTRALIA. PROCEEDINGS, SIXTH CONFERENCE, ROAD ENGINEERING ASSOCIATION OF ASIA AND AUSTRALASIA, 4-10 MARCH 1990, KUALA LUMPUR, VOLUMES 1 TO 5 AND POST CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS

Australia with its large area and small but concentrated population needs an extensive road system. Funds available from traditional sources are never adequate to provide the facilities which the community would like. This emphasises the need to spend available monies efficiently and to consider all alternative financial possibilities. The paper discusses: alternative funding methods available, the differing views of State Road Authorities, current Australian practice where a variety of toll-funded projects are in hand, guidelines for the development of public infrastructure from private sources. Analysis of these issues leads to conclusions setting out those factors which are likely to provide a successful scheme. For the covering entry of the conference see IRRD 823206. (Author/TRRL)
