Recommendation
34. Improve infrastructure planning by establishing a single, agreed set of common planning assumptions for state agencies and government trading enterprises, including:
- providing, at a minimum, assumptions on population, demographics, housing, economy, employment, human services use, utilities use, transport, land use and climate
- setting out agreed data sets and guidance material for their application
- embedding them in the Strategic Asset Management Framework’s Strategic Asset Plan and Business Case guidelines as required for use, or provide a clear rationale or an exemption where they have not been applied
- updating them regularly and making them publicly available.
