The Yearbook is an important piece of work for the Department and provides a comprehensive evidence base to examine long-term and emerging trends as well as inform policy development and regulatory reform in the transport, energy, water and communications sectors. It is the only comprehensive source of time series statistics for Australia's major areas of economic infrastructure. The Yearbook is accompanied by the first Key Australian Infrastructure Statistics booklet which is a summary of statistics from the Yearbook.

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.

This report investigates the current level of energy consumption by various categories of Australian transport. It examines the present Australian transport task and the associated levels of energy consumption. The efficiency of each major mode of transport is assessed in terms of energy consumption–both direct and indirect.

In the past, very little attention has been given to establishing the relationship between environmental factors and real estate values. This relationship is an important input to the evaluation of the environmental impacts of particular transport projects. This report presents the results of a study of the impact of environmental factors on house prices in the Marrickville and Rockdale municipalities of Sydney.

This report examines the market for battery powered electric passenger vehicles suitable for use in major urban areas in Australia. A typical specification for an electric passenger vehicle has been used as the basis of the analysis. The study was commissioned following the considerable interest shown in the Electric Car Conference conducted jointly by the Bureau and the Australian Electric Vehicle Association in 1975.
