Better Freight Outcomes Fund - community survey

16 October 2026

The Department of Transport and Planning is developing a grants program to support communities affected by heavy vehicle traffic in Melbourne’s inner west.

Local communities are invited to contribute to the fund’s development via a survey on Engage Victoria. The survey will help understand:

  • community priorities and concerns
  • the types of projects that will deliver the greatest benefits to local communities
  • how funding should be prioritised.

Community feedback will help shape the fund including grant guidelines and key assessment criteria.

To share your thoughts, visit the Engage Victoria page.

Feedback closes Sunday 1 November 2026.
