dataset: PFN_2021_PLACE
THIS DATASET HAS BEEN WITHDRAWN FROM OPEN DATA 25 MARCH 2025 The Principal Freight Network (PFN) is a strategic network of current and recognised future freight places and connecting movement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 PFN Places (areas). PFN Places are classified as: PFN Place: a place where goods of significant value, quantity or importance is generated, stored, distributed, handled or carried PFN Place - Planned: a planned freight place 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.
