TED Baillieu has talked up his government's achievements on infrastructure ahead of his government's two-year anniversary.

Education and environment groups are highly critical of the government's performance as it nears the halfway mark of its term next month, while business groups and the doctors' lobby are more positive.

The Victorian Premier said the government had already delivered on a significant range of election promises and was spending a record amount on infrastructure this year in the face of large revenue write-downs.

"We have to find new revenue opportunities and that comes with growing our economy (and) growing markets," he said.

"We have got significant infrastructure under way and we look forward to there being more.

"But we are going to do it in an entirely responsible way where there is a decent focus on getting the costs right."

Australian Education Union Victorian branch president Mary Bluett announced  yesterday the teachers' union was walking away from enterprise bargaining negotiations with the government after it refused to respond to a revised salary offer from the union of 12 per cent over three years.

She said the only positive aspect of the government's education agenda was its commitment to boost the teaching of languages other than English in schools.

Ms Bluett said not only were teachers furious about Mr Baillieu's broken promise to make them the highest paid in the nation, but they were also angry about $48 million in funding pulled out of the Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL) - which offers an alternative to VCE - as well as the "decimation" of TAFEs.

"It's been a bad two years for public education," she said.

"Cuts and broken promises in summary."

Victorian Employers' Chamber of Commerce and Industry Mark Stone backed the government's strategy to maintain budget surpluses and a triple-A credit rating.

"That's a very strong position for Victoria," he said.

Mr Stone said the government had also made welcome major planning reforms, including opening up public land to more tourism investment and a continuing commitment to cut red tape.

Environment Victoria chief executive Kelly O'Shanassy condemned the government's decision to cut the feed-in tariff rate for rooftop solar panels and tough wind-farm restrictions.

"Their record on the environment is pretty appalling," Ms O'Shanassy said.

"They are known by some in Victoria as a do-nothing government but on the environment that is definitely not the case - they've been ... attacking the environment."

Australian Medical Association president Stephen Parnis urged the government to release its promised regional capital resources plan, which will outline the coalition's investment priorities for the next decade.
