  Principal Freight Network 2021 Road Polygons

dataset: PFN_2021_ROAD_POLY
THIS DATASET HAS BEEN WITHDRAWN FROM OPEN DATA 25 MARCH 2025 The Principal Freight Network (PFN) is a strategic network of current and recognised future freight places and connecting movement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. This dataset depicts areas classified as "PFN Road - area for potential PFN", which are approximate areas identified that will contain a future road corridor that will form part of the PFN once funded. The 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.

Purpose
The purpose of the PFN is to facilitate the efficient, safe, sustainable and economic movement of freight in Victoria and enable future growth of the freight task on the Victorian transport network by: 1) GUIDING future transport network and land use planning and infrastructure investment to ensure consideration and prioritisation of freight. 2) PROTECTING the principal freight network and future capacity of this network through appropriate legislation, planning scheme and policy provision. 3) INTEGRATING multi-modal supply chains and end-to-end supply chains to achieve productivity gains and industry competitiveness.

Quality

Missing Data
This dataset covers Victoria 
Positional Accuracy
Where possible on road segments are snapped to the road network. Off road segments are snapped to Vicmap Trails or aligned with aerial photography 
 

Lineage

Description
The Road PFN data was created based on road segments from Vicmap TR Roads. For future PFN links, the alignments were based on conceptual alignments or if the alignment is not known, then an appoximate polygon has been represented. 
Statement
Dataset Source: The data was created by Freight Victoria and the Mapping Team of the Department of Transport (DoT). Victoria. Dataset Originality: Primary
