GOVERNMENT HAS A ROLE IN BOTH DRIVING AND ENABLING INNOVATION. Over the coming decades, state government will need to invest in technological solutions and remove barriers to private sector innovation. DIGITAL CONNECTIVITY IS THE COMMON LINK RUNNING THROUGH THE STRATEGY. The recommendations cover a range of different areas related to technology, but improving communications infrastructure across the state is a high priority. We know that technology will radically transform how services are delivered and infrastructure is used over the next 30 years, though exactly how this will unfold is yet to be seen. Driverless vehicles, 3D printing, advanced robotics and battery storage are just some of the innovations that are likely to disrupt infrastructure landscape over the coming Victoria’s decades. In developing the strategy, been particularly cognisant of the Victorian we’ve role in this area. Some recommendations are about state government Government’s providing technology infrastructure on its own or in partnership with others. This is particularly relevant when there are strong equity or economic grounds for government intervention or when technology can complement or provide an alternative to traditional bricks and mortar service delivery. Other recommendations are about state government removing regulatory barriers to enable private sector innovation. Examples of recommendations in the strategy with a strong technology focus include: Communications infrastructure Critical infrastructure control systems Driverless vehicles Education delivery through technology Health care delivery through technology High-capacity signalling Justice case management ICT system Major water supply augmentation Public transport real-time information See page 38 for a full list of recommendations and reference numbers. HOW TO NAVIGATE THE RECOMMENDATIONS Following the strategic framework set out on pages 8 to 14, the recommendations have been organised according to the needs, or challenges, they address. Some recommendations address multiple needs. In these cases, the recommendations are repeated, so that each need is self-contained and presents a full picture of the problem being addressed and the solutions being proposed. The strategy includes 137 recommendations, of which 52 appear under multiple needs. The recommendations under each need include the following elements:
