MAJOR infrastructure funding and a greater share of GST revenue are Premier Denis Napthine's targets for the next Council of Australian Government (COAG) meeting in Canberra on Friday.
Dr Napthine said Victoria needs more support from the federal government.
"I will certainly be raising with the federal government the need for key infrastructure funding for Victoria that is improving transport efficiency, improving business productivity and delivering jobs for Victoria," he said.
"I will also be putting the case for Victoria to get a fairer share of the GST.
"We are being dudded under the current GST arrangements.
Last week, Victorian Treasurer Michael O'Brien blamed a cut in the state's GST revenue from 90 cents in the dollar to 88 cents in 2014-15 for a $32 hike in car registrations and an increase in vehicle stamp duty.
The extra charges would be used to fund major transport infrastructure in the May 6 state budget, he said.
Dr Napthine said he would also raise a recycling initiative at the COAG meeting.
"I will also be raising one of my pet topics, and that is the need for a national container deposit legislation approach."
