Trunk infrastructure is higher order infrastructure that supports large areas or catchments. It includes things like water or sewerage treatment facilities, parks and main roads.
Trunk infrastructure is classified into these networks:
- water supply
- sewer
- stormwater
- movement (transport – road and cycle)
- parks
- land for community facilities such as libraries or sports fields.
Non-trunk infrastructure is internal to a development and may connect a development to an external infrastructure network.
