State Infrastructure Strategy implementation progress
Implementation Progress Report
The Strategy is supported by a monitoring and reporting framework. As part of this framework, and in line with the IWA Act, IWA monitors progress and reports annually on the WA Government’s progress in implementing the Strategy’s recommendations via the Implementation Progress Report.
Asset management
Organisations with mature asset management systems take a strategic approach to planning and using assets, and a lifecycle view of asset systems and networks, rather than a narrow focus on discrete maintenance and upgrades.
Around two-thirds of the total cost of an asset generally occurs after it is built or acquired. Effective management of the state’s approximate $159 billion infrastructure asset base is essential to maximise the value and longevity of these public assets.
Infrastructure delivery
WA is currently experiencing a significant increase in infrastructure development activity. The level of private sector investment is also high and driven by the resources sector and construction of new housing. This level of activity has benefits but is also putting pressure on market delivery capacity.
