142. GIAB considers that:

• There is a need for an increased level of long-term analysis to improve future preparedness;
• There is a need to increase collaboration between government, business users, and infrastructure investors and operators, to identify emerging infrastructure needs, particularly those of high value export-oriented businesses, and collaborate on efficiencies or improved provision - a "whole of nation" approach may be optimal in some instances;
• Infrastructure policy and planning needs to explicitly allow for linkages and interdependencies between infrastructure sectors. Particular areas where GIAB suggests more explicit recognition of linkages are across transport modes, and between transport and energy;
• There is a need to ensure that ICT capability is optimal to facilitate the passage of both goods and information, to support exporters to better meet cross-border and in-market security and assurance requirements, and to optimise the selection of transport modes.

143. GIAB's perspectives have been taken into account in developing proposals in this paper.

144. GIAB has identified a need to better understand opportunities for improving businesses' access to transport services for getting export goods to market, and is currently undertaking a project on transport infrastructure servicing exports (tourism is not covered).
