Cross-cutting themes

The cross-cutting themes influence WA’s infrastructure agenda, underpin the Strategy and address matters that apply to multiple infrastructure sectors and across the infrastructure lifecycle.

Looking at the relationships across multiple sectors has the potential to streamline processes, make better use of resources and identify where opportunities can result in benefits to a range of stakeholders.

Sectors

This categorisation allows for the identification of themes and interdependencies common within similar infrastructure types. The primary focus of WA’s first State Infrastructure Strategy has been on infrastructure owned and delivered by state government agencies and government trading enterprises, and infrastructure that has a direct or indirect financial or policy implication for state government.

Energy

Around 1 in 3 households in WA have solar power systems on their roofs. In 2020 alone, more than 300 megawatts of residential solar power were added in WA, which is almost equivalent to the annual output of the state’s largest coal-fired power station.
