The Australian Infrastructure Statistics Yearbook provides a single comprehensive source of Australian infrastructure time series statistics for measures of transport, energy, communications and water infrastructure and the use of this infrastructure in Australia. Statistics are presented in a coherent framework that enables comparisons across the four forms of infrastructure and the activities associated with each form of infrastructure.

TrainLine 1 is a collaborative report between the Australasian Railway Association (ARA) and BITRE. It is a further development of the previous rail freight performance publications series. This report provides an overview of rail freight performance, railway infrastructure standards and freight haulage between 2007–08 and 2009–10.Further development of the range of information is envisaged.

The report is split into three sections that provide freight market, freight train and track indicators.

Avline provides a summary of previously released Aviation related data drawing on a range of sources including BITRE, ABS, Airservices Australian and the US Energy Information Administration. In addition, Avline provides a comparison of published airport charges at the five major capital city airports and at a selection of regional airports. Avline 2010–11 covers the financial year 2010–11 and is the third of the series to be published annually instead of biannually.

When the Commonwealth Government introduced the Tasmanian Freight Equalisation Scheme on 1 July 1976 it directed the Bureau of Transport Economics to recalculate the rates of assistance by December 1977.

This report presents the recommended new rates of assistance calculated on the basis of the freight rates prevailing at the end of December 1977. The method of recalculation was based on that used by the Nimmo Commission although with some modifications.

The new assistance rates were calculated as the difference between the costs of moving a consignment from Tasmania to mainland destinations and the costs of moving a similar consignment on comparable mainland routes.

The Paper presents methods used for forecasting future passenger and aircraft movements at Sydney Airport. Forecast movements at 5-year intervals to the year 2000 are also presented using these methods, on the basis of assumptions about the future course of many underlying determinants such as population, income, fares, aircraft types, load factors and so on. The forecasts were prepared in support of the Major Airports Needs of Sydney (MANS) Study, and embody assumptions adopted by a Forecasting Consultative Group consisting of members drawn from various Commonwealth and State Government bodies.

This Report sets out recommended new rates of assistance to be paid under the Tasmanian Freight Equalisation Scheme on eligible southbound cargoes and on northbound shipments of livestock and timber.

The southbound rates were recalculated to meet a direction issued by the Commonwealth Government when the Freight Equalisation Scheme was first introduced, while the direction to recalculate timber rates arose from recommendations made in the 1978 BTE report giving new northbound TFES rates.

The investigation of northbound livestock rates was initially directed towards determining whether higher rates of assistance should be paid on consignments of stud animals, but during the course of the study the terms of reference were widened to cover all livestock shipments.

In order to provide information to assist with the continuing administration of the Tasmanian Freight Equalisation Scheme, the Minister for Transport directed the BTE to undertake studies of the costs incurred by Australian industries on Mainland interstate long distance freight transport, and the factors determining the freight rates charged between Tasmania and the Mainland and the potential for cost reductions.
