Principal Freight Network 2021 Rail Polygons

dataset: PFN_2021_RAIL_POLY
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 Rail - area for potential PFN", which are approximate areas identified that will contain a future rail 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.

Resource Type
Dataset  
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.

Statement
Dataset Source: The data was created by Freight Victoria and the Mapping Team of the Department of Transport (DoT). Victoria. Dataset Originality: Primary 
Description
Collection Method: On screen digitising relative to other spatial data 
Description
The Rail PFN data was created based on rail corridor centrelines. For future Rail PFN links, the alignments were based on conceptual alignments or if the alignment is not known, then an appoximate polygon has been represented.
