Principal Freight Network 2021 Road, Rail and Places

The Principal Freight Network (PFN) is a strategic network of current and recognised future freight places and connecting movement corridors (road and rail) which are nationally, state and/or regionally significant. The PFN places and corridors are where freight of significant quantity, value or importance is generated, stored, distributed, handled or carried. \n\nThis collection of datasets that depict PFN road and rail corridors and freight places (areas).\n\nPFN Road Corridors are classified as:\nPFN Road: a road corridor that forms part of the PFN. \nPFN Road - committed future removal: a road corridor that will be removed from the PFN upon the completion of the relevant funded project.\nPFN Road - in delivery: a road corridor that has committed funding and is in delivery. \nPFN Road - planned: a potential road corridor identified for inclusion on the future PFN once funded. \nPFN Road - area for potential PFN (polygons): an area identified that will contain a future road corridor that will form part of the PFN once funded. \n\nPFN Rail Corridors are classified as: \nPFN Rail: a rail corridor that forms part of the PFN. \nPFN Rail - in delivery: a rail corridor on the network that has committed funding and is in delivery. \nPFN Rail - planned: a potential rail corridor identified for inclusion on the PFN once funded. \nPFN Rail - area for potential PFN (polygons): an area identified that will contain a future rail corridor that will form part of the PFN once funded. \n\nPFN Places are classified as: \nPFN Place: a place where goods of significant value, quantity or importance is generated, stored, distributed, handled or carried. \nPFN Place - Planned: a planned freight place once funded. \n\nThe PFN was reviewed and updated in 2021 through consultation with local government and industry, building on the previous PFN which was last updated in 2013.
