After a decade of record capital infrastructure spending, state and territory governments are grappling with tighter fiscal conditions and higher interest rates. The economic reality is clear: the need for infrastructure will continue to escalate, despite limited funding. The challenge will be in how we continue to invest in and deliver the infrastructure that underpins community wellbeing, with decreased expenditure and increased efficiency.
To maximise public value, we must pursue two parallel strategies. First, prioritise infrastructure investment that focuses on better design to deliver the greatest community benefit with low economic cost. Second, deliver projects more efficiently, by rethinking delivery models, embracing innovation and focusing on effective project management.
