What you need to know

The Government Policy Statement on land transport (GPS) sets out how money from the National Land Transport Fund is allocated towards achieving the Government’s transport priorities. It sets out ranges for funding for activities such as public transport, state highway improvements, local and regional roads and road safety — we call these activity classes. Each GPS sets out the priorities for the following 10-year period, and is reviewed and updated every 3 years. 

We started development of the GPS 2021 in early 2019. On behalf of the Minister of Transport we released a draft for public engagement in March 2020. We used feedback from submissions to develop the final. GPS 2021 will take effect from 1 July 2021.
