Infrastructure WA

From the Acting CEO

Our Planning and Strategy team are working hard to prepare IWA’s first annual Implementation Progress Report on the Foundations for a Stronger Tomorrow State Infrastructure Strategy 2022 (Strategy). This report serves as a vital tool for enhancing visibility around the implementation of supported recommendations, and will offer insights into related activities occurring across government. 

From the CEO

The tabling of Foundations for a stronger tomorrow in Parliament last month was a significant achievement for IWA and all Western Australians. While we eagerly await the WA Government’s response, the team have been busily progressing our other key work functions.

From the CEO

Following the release of the draft State Infrastructure Strategy Foundations for a Stronger Tomorrow, there has been no time to pause as our public consultation phase kicked into gear.

From the CEO

Since commencing as Infrastructure Western Australia's Chief Executive Officer in August, much has occurred in a relatively short space of time. 

Submissions have closed on our State Infrastructure Strategy Discussion Paper, our state-wide workshop series has concluded, and we have moved on quickly to begin analysing feedback received. From our consultative process we had more than 520 attendees at our workshops, received more than 140 responses to our Discussion Paper and surveyed nearly 600 Western Australians. 

From the CEO

October and November has been a busy period for IWA as we saw many of our work programs gaining momentum.

This includes our investigation into market capacity constraints and skills shortages that the construction sector is facing. Following our initial workshop with industry and government stakeholders in September, we have followed on with a series of targeted working group sessions to develop viable solutions for consideration by the WA Government.

From the CEO

From workshops, design concepts and inspiring events, our Aboriginal engagement space is ramping up with exciting developments. 

We have welcomed NANI Creative who was commissioned from our call out for an Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander artists to create artwork that represents our journey so far, our values and what we do in the Aboriginal engagement space for IWA’s first Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan.
