- Growing and linking all of Victoria
Population growth underpins economic growth, sustains regional revitalisation, and further strengthens the diversity that is the heart of Victoria. Transport and communications infrastructure links people and businesses across Victoria - and links the regions to Melbourne and the world.

- High quality education and training for lifelong learning
Education is the key to creating a dynamic, successful community and improving all Victorians’ life opportunities. Victoria must be a place where children get the best possible start to their education and where people of all ages are motivated to keep learning.

- Protecting the environment for future generations
The natural environment sustains every aspect of our lives. We must actively conserve and manage it in order to achieve our social and economic goals. Victoria has magnificent alpine, desert, rainforest, grassland, wetland, marine and coastal environments - all of which are critical for the survival of our precious native plants and animals. We need to preserve these diverse environments for future generations to enjoy.
|
- Efficient use of natural resources
A better quality of life for Victorians now and in the future relies upon our ability to use our natural resources - such as water, coal, timber and gas - wisely and effectively. Protecting the environment and the long-term health and prosperity of the Victorian community depends on efficient and sustainable use of natural resources.
|
- Building friendly confident and safe communities
Friendly and confident communities have strong support networks, services and infrastructure to meet the needs of the people who live and work in them. Safety in communities depends on good communication, excellent policing and emergency services, and effective measures to address the causes of crime.

|
- Sound financial management
Financial responsibility provides us with the long-term capacity to achieve our vision for Victoria. Our ability to attract people,
investment and new jobs, to provide better services, and to protect our environment, depends on a strong and secure financial base.
