Infrastructure WA

IWA Chairperson, Nicole Lockwood was recently invited to attend the Global Infrastructure Initiative Summit in Tokyo alongside some of the world’s most senior leaders in infrastructure and capital projects, with a focus on creating pathways to sustainable infrastructure.

Our team recently completed an intensive period of engagement with over 20 public sector infrastructure agencies to discuss the importance of sound asset management and planning.

Feedback included insights into work that is underway across the sector to provide enhanced understanding of government assets, their condition, potential impacts of future system demands and disruptors, and ultimately the support needed to improve strategic asset planning.

It was great for the IWA team to test out the Forrestfield-Airport Link – one of WA’s newest infrastructure projects – which will change the way we get around our city.

Public Transport Authority Project Director, Dave Thomas, took IWA Board members and senior management on a tour, which started with the team boarding a test train at Perth Station and visiting each of the 3 new stations High Wycombe, Airport Central and Redcliffe along the eastern suburbs line.

More than 2 years’ rigorous visioning, consultation and analysis has culminated today in the tabling of WA’s first State Infrastructure Strategy in Parliament.

The tabling of Foundations for a stronger tomorrow marks a major milestone for Infrastructure WA (IWA) and the beginning of a new chapter for infrastructure planning and delivery in the state.

Infrastructure WA (IWA) welcomed Infrastructure Australia (IA) to WA this week as part of their ongoing role of maintaining relationships with infrastructure bodies in other states and territories.
