Infrastructure Partnerships Australia's submission to Infrastructure NSW

posted Sunday 9 September 2012

A report released by Infrastructure Partnerships Australia has called for the forthcoming Infrastructure NSW strategy to provide a detailed, ambitious and long-term vision that protects land corridors, prioritises the right projects and maps out a pathway for sustainable growth.

The report, entitled "Fixing NSW: A Long-term Vision for Better Infrastructure", can be seen here (59 pages, 2MB PDF).

The submission presses for privatisation of the Sydney desalination plant, and planned divestment of Port Botany, Port Kembla and the state-owned electricity generators. It cites some projects as critical, including several roads and some rail upgrades.

Infrastructure Partnerships Australia claims to be a national forum, comprising public and private sector CEO Members, advocating the public policy interests of Australia's infrastructure industry.
