TORONTO, Sept 2 (Reuters) - Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. (BIP.N) said on Wednesday it has conditional approval for the listing of its limited partnership units on the Toronto Stock Exchange, with trading to begin within two weeks under the symbol (BIP_u.TO).

"We anticipate that listing on the TSX will enable the partnership to enhance its investor base by appealing to a wider range of investors in the Canadian market," Chief Executive Sam Pollock said in a statement.

Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. was established by Brookfield Asset Management (BAMa.TO) as its primary vehicle to own and operate certain global infrastructure assets. Its current business consists of the ownership and operation of premier electricity transmission systems, timberlands and social infrastructure in North and South America, Britain and Australia.

The partnership's units also trade on the New York Stock Exchange. (Reporting by Andrea Hopkins; editing by Peter Galloway)
