IA calls for Infrastructure Priority List submissions

Infrastructure Australia has called for submissions to its 2018 Infrastructure Priority List (IPL) update, seeking input that identifies significant infrastructure problems and opportunities across the country.

The IPL provides a prioritised list of “nationally significant” infrastructure investments, thereby providing guidance and advice to government and industry. Investments that make in on to the list undergo an independent assessment by the Infrastructure Australia board and a process of prioritisation.

“We are keen for states and territories and other partners to submit initiatives that solve the most pressing infrastructure problems facing our nation,” Infrastructure Australia CEO, Philip Davies said.

“The 2018 IPL will build on the current list, with new initiatives to reflect emerging infrastructure priorities across Australia, and updates to existing initiatives.

“We welcome submissions for all types of infrastructure, including programs of related works and programs for network optimisation.”

The submission period for the revised IPL will close on 27 October 2017. Publication of the list is expected to take place in February 2018.
