Minister’s message
The Tasmanian economy is strong and continues to go from strength to strength.
Business confidence is the strongest in the nation, labour market conditions and
forward indicators are positive and our tourism industry continues to boom.
With the significant $2.6 billion injection of infrastructure spending included in the 2018 State Budget, the
Tasmanian Government is delivering the infrastructure our state needs – from providing a safe and efficient road
network, enhancing our freight corridors, providing world class schools and hospitals and investing in exciting
renewable energy projects. We know that this investment is critical to ensuring essential services can be delivered
whilst creating jobs and leveraging additional private sector investment that will build Tasmania’s future.
This investment creates significant challenges for our civil construction sector who seek certainty and consistency
when planning their future work; this is why the government has asked Infrastructure Tasmania to develop a
strategic outlook of infrastructure expenditure in Tasmania, to provide industry with the certainty and consistency
it requires.
The resultant Infrastructure Pipeline lays out the State’s priorities for the next 10 years. The pipeline recognises
that the State Government can only achieve its infrastructure goals by working hand in hand with the private
sector. It provides developers, investors, contractors and consultants with access to the flow of key infrastructure
projects coming online in the coming years which will allow them to make decisions on growing and investing in
their own people and businesses.
The projects detailed in the Pipeline are largely funded or committed for funding and will be presented to market in
the next 10 year period. Individual projects over $5 million have been specifically identified and aggregated budgets
have been described for many organisations and agencies to highlight the extent and value of work that may not
meet this individual threshold.
To give some context to the contribution this Government is making to the pipeline, over the next four years, the
2018-19 State Budget has allocated over $1 billion to capital investment in schools, health facilities, public housing
and prisons, while over the same period, the combination of State and Federal funding will allow $1.1 billion of
upgrades and improvement on the State’s road network.
The State owned energy sector businesses will invest $1.3 billion over the period to ensure our electricity
generation and transmission networks are appropriately maintained and with the recent signing of a Memorandum
of Understanding with TasWater, it is expected that TasWater will be able to deliver well in excess of the
$644 million in capital upgrades it had already planned. Add to this significant ongoing investment in rail, irrigation
and ports and it can be seen that the Government is committed to ensuring these important building blocks for
growth in the economy provide the appropriate levels of service.
The Infrastructure Pipeline will be updated annually as we continue to identify the projects that Tasmania needs as
our State grows.

CEO’s message
Infrastructure Tasmania is pleased to be able to present the inaugural
Tasmanian Infrastructure Project Pipeline. Covering all aspects of
Government-provided infrastructure, along with a few helpful additions, we
expect the aggregated project information contained in the Pipeline will assist
readers with decision making and resourcing.
Our Pipeline splits infrastructure into economic and social. Economic infrastructure includes roads, rail, energy,
water and sewerage, irrigation, stormwater, ports, airports and communications and is a key focus of the Pipeline.
Social infrastructure includes public housing, schools, hospital, prisons, courts and police and emergency
management infrastructure, which provides both safety nets for vulnerable community members and important
building blocks to the early years of the population. Also included in this category is expenditure associated with
recreation and visitor economy infrastructure.
Although we may not normally include the building of residential and non-residential structures in an infrastructure
discussion, the fact is that they use the same consulting, contracting and project management resources as social
and economic infrastructure projects. For this reason we have included some coverage of the outlook for this
sector in the Pipeline.
In order to demonstrate where we are going, it is useful to know where we are. The 2018-19 projected
expenditure of around $1.57 billion is significantly higher than the 2016-17 actual expenditure on social and
economic infrastructure of around $1.32 billion. This nearly 19% increase is a very large increase over a two year
period, particularly with current activity levels near record highs. While there is some fall off, the spend is still
intended to average around $1.4 billion per annum for the life of the Pipeline, with another peak during
construction of the Bridgewater Bridge.
A challenge for the delivery of this Pipeline of activity is the similar growth forecast for infrastructure spending in
other states. There are numerous major transport projects, in particular, scheduled to commence over the next
couple of years and they will be seeking to utilise all available resources. They will be competing for consultants
and resources across the spectrum of engineering and construction professions.
To ensure participants in the sector have the best chance of helping to deliver this program, Infrastructure
Tasmania will be consulting with industry at an Infrastructure and Construction Roundtable in July 2018. The
Roundtable will consider strategies and actions that will better equip industry to respond to the flow of work and
for the Government to deliver its work program. We will be addressing limitations and identifying opportunities to
improve the procurement process and consider actions that will aid workforce development and access to
specialist skills and occupations.
Looking further ahead, Infrastructure Tasmania has committed to developing an Infrastructure Strategy for the
Government over the second half of the year. Where the Pipeline looks at the next ten years of projects, the
Strategy will look to the next 30 years and consider questions about what the future landscape will look like, what
population and technology trends will mean for the infrastructure we deliver and provide a framework to consider
the large and long-lived infrastructure investments that governments will be required to make.
But firstly we hope the Pipeline provides visibility for industry as to what is soon to come on line and will be a
useful reference through its yearly updates.

1. What is included in the Tasmanian
Infrastructure Project Pipeline?
The Pipeline provides a consolidated list of the key projects that are underway or planned across all economic
infrastructure and key social infrastructure over the next ten years. Some projects that are in the Pipeline are
already in the public domain as those project owners are required to go through transparent regulatory processes
to approve near-term capital expenditure. However, for many of the projects, the first public knowledge of them
may be when design or procurement processes commence.
In seeking projects for inclusion in the Pipeline, Infrastructure Tasmania gave the following guidance to asset
owners as to which projects should be put forward.
While councils were not approached directly, as few of their projects individually meet the project threshold, the
spend across the Local Government sector is significant and needs to be acknowledged. Analysis of previous annual
reports suggests that councils’ expenditure on property, plant, equipment and infrastructure totals over
$240 million annually; of this, it is estimated $180 million is on economic infrastructure including roads, bridges,
stormwater, drainage and local airports.
While local government projects have not been individually defined or identified, the aggregate spend provides an
indication of the resourcing requirements necessary to deliver this capital and allows potential participants to factor
in capacity and capability.
Infrastructure Tasmania has also compiled a list of the key private sector construction projects that are proposed
in the medium term (see Section 8). This list cannot be comprehensive as private developer intentions are often
commercial in confidence and not known until approvals are sought. However, what it demonstrates is a significant
private construction pipeline on the horizon. Also included in Section 9 are some aspirational government sector
projects that, while early in their development, are potentially state shaping initiatives. For example, the Battery of
the Nation projects and Macquarie Point redevelopment fall into this category.
5
2. Contributors to the Pipeline
There are around 50 major owners of economic infrastructure in the state, covering all tiers of government,
government businesses, some public-private partnerships and private businesses (see Appendix A). This is not to
mention the many smaller private and community providers who are not captured in the Appendix.
Project proposals were sought from each of the organisations in Appendix A (councils aside) and, in addition, input
was sought from several Tasmanian Government departments who own social infrastructure.
The planning horizon was purposefully chosen. Infrastructure Tasmania acknowledges that while many asset owners
have long-term asset management plans, their detailed capital planning usually does not stretch longer than ten
years.
While the Pipeline focuses on projects which are highly likely – either they are fully funded by the asset owner, or
have contributed funds committed – as mentioned, some key aspirational Government sector projects are
considered.
6
3. Expected Pipeline benefits
The benefits of the Pipeline are anticipated to be fourfold.
The Pipeline will provide the consulting and construction sectors with a more transparent understanding of
upcoming design and build requirements and allow better planning of workforce needs to match future
work.
While it is known that some firms receive regular briefings from infrastructure owners on their likely plans,
Infrastructure Tasmania expects that the Pipeline will provide a longer term view than is currently available.
The Pipeline will help identify if there are any likely constraints to delivery of priority projects in the short
to medium-term.
Given the importance of various government bodies to the infrastructure spend on large projects in the
State, the Pipeline can show if there are overlapping timeframes for key projects which may be to the
detriment of timely or cost efficient delivery. In such circumstances, consideration could then be given,
where possible, to smoothing the investment profile.
The Pipeline will also provide private sector developers and investors with better information to inform
decision making around where they may locate or further develop.
For example, knowledge of when a particular water and sewerage upgrade may occur may help a developer
regarding greenfields development.
The Pipeline will provide the opportunity for infrastructure providers to better understand each other’s
intended works and, if appropriate, coordinate effort in terms of scheduling overlapping geographic roll
outs or jointly planning contingent projects, which may ultimately lead to cost savings.
7
4. Caveats
The Pipeline represents the best understanding of asset owners as to likely future infrastructure investments in the
State at this point in time.
Many of the projects received sit within current asset management plans, have capital allocated and are almost
certain to be delivered. Equally, there are projects that have been received which are only at early planning stages,
have uncertainty over timing and which may require regulatory approval prior to being able to commence (it
should be noted for TasWater and TasNetworks any projects outside of their current regulatory approval period
fall into this latter category).
In a number of cases such as energy, water and sewerage, roads and health, some project level information has
been wrapped up to a program level. This occurs where individual projects are not of sufficient scale to meet the
capital threshold of $5 million, but there is a number of the same project types (e.g. renewals or maintenance
programs) that collectively do.
The project data contained in the Pipeline is that of the proposing organisation. Infrastructure Tasmania would
encourage any party planning to use this information to contact that organisation to ensure they have the most up
to date information.
In some cases, asset owners have provided their current capital plan, which may cover the 2017-18 financial year
and a further nine years, which means a tenth year of projections is missing. Similarly, some State agencies only
have program visibility for the Budget and forward estimates period, or rely on a round of Federal funding
agreements before there will be clarity on expenditure in the latter years of the analysis period. Where these
shortcomings in the data set occur, a conservative estimate has been included for the aggregate yearly capital spend
figures (usually based on an average of recent years’ actuals), but with project level information unchanged.
8
5. Infrastructure Pipeline projects
In proposing projects for the Pipeline, organisations were asked to provide:
The table in Section 11 provides a listing of the 247 projects collected. The list is sorted in chronological order of
expected construction and then by infrastructure class and value in descending order.
Organisations were also asked to provide a total per annum capital expenditure, firstly to ensure that all the
projects smaller than $5 million were still captured and secondly to provide an aggregated yearly spend on all
economic and social infrastructure.
The Pipeline information will be updated annually and will remain viewable on the State Growth website at
www.stategrowth.tas.gov.au/infrastructuretasmania

6. Reading the Pipeline
Our Pipeline describes projects on an individual basis, but also provides some common descriptors around the
drivers of the project and the stage of the project. Along with an infrastructure class breakdown and project
location information, this has allowed us to provide some trend analysis of the projects in the following section.
To aid in reading that section and the listing of projects in Section 11, we have included the following glossary
relating to the drivers of projects and their stage.
Drivers
Regulatory Compliance Addresses deficiencies where regulatory level of service not being met.
Maintenance Upkeep of infrastructure that does not extend the life of the asset.
Stage of Project
Business Case Detailed options analysis, recommended approach and proposed budget.
Start/End Year
Substantive Refers to the labour and capital intensive phase of each project. Project scoping,
construction planning, consultation and design and any associated preliminary works may occur
before this phase, depending on the project.
10
7. Analysis of Pipeline trends
Timing of spend by asset class
As noted in the CEO’s Message, there is a significant increase in expenditure expected in 2018-19 relative to even
two years ago (around 19%). The chart below shows the 2016-17 actual expenditure on economic and social
infrastructure as captured by ABS Engineering Construction data and State agency annual reports and compares
this to the expected capital programs collected for the Pipeline (which includes projects not large enough for listing
in Section 11). The aggregate value of infrastructure investment over the duration of the pipeline is expected to be
around $13.9 billion.
The 2018-19 State Budget provides significant additional stimulus through increased funding of social infrastructure
in the coming years. It has set aside $1.0 billion in the four years of the Budget year and forward estimates period
for capital spending by State agencies looking after education, housing, health and justice. This equates to around
$250 million per annum, which is an average of $110 million per annum more than the four years to 2016-17 for
these portfolio areas. The magnitude of increase is very similar for economic infrastructure, driven by increased
spending in the State’s road program.

* Reduction in aggregate capex forecast after the completion of the Bridgewater Bridge in 2023-24 is likely due to greater
uncertainty for organisations contributing data in their longer term spends than a likely decline in overall activity.
What is also evident is that there will be a second peak in activity in 2022-23 when the Bridgewater Bridge
construction works are expected to be at their peak. While the stimulus in social infrastructure spending does
reduce when the Royal Hobart Hospital construction winds down in 2020-21, underlying strength in economic
infrastructure will continue until the Bridge works ramp up.

7.1 Project driver analysis
In the sections that follow, the analysis relates to the project level information rather than the aggregated capital
expenditure numbers (i.e. the projects outlined in Section 11 which are individually worth $5 million or more).
Around $7.9 billion in individual infrastructure projects were put forward for the ten years covered by the Pipeline.
By far the biggest primary driver of these projects are level of service upgrades ($2.7 billion), followed by growth
($1.7 billion, which is driven significantly by the new Bridgewater Bridge), renewals ($1.6 billion), regulatory
compliance ($1.0 billion) and maintenance ($872 million). It should be noted that there can be considerable overlap
between level of service improvements and renewals as both involve the replacement of older infrastructure and
when this occurs there is the often reasonable expectation that any new infrastructure should have a greater utility
than the asset being replaced.
The large spend on renewals and level of service reflects an anecdotal view collected through discussions with
contributing organisations that it is the condition of infrastructure rather than its capacity which is generally at
issue. This may also be the outcome of an underspend in previous years in maintaining the State’s existing
infrastructure base.

Level of Service, 34
Renewal, 20

Compliance, 13
With Tasmania’s population growth returning to historically high levels and an influx of visitors to the State, it is
not unsurprising that growth is the third greatest primary driver of future infrastructure investment in the State. As
noted, the $576 million Bridgewater Bridge is a key reason for the prominence of this driver but there are other
localised pockets where growth is driving congestion or capacity consumption.
For example, population is fastest growing in peri-urban areas such as Sorell, Kingborough, Brighton and Legana
where more affordable housing is located and where transit times to key work centres are still relatively short.
Sorell and Kingborough in particular also see significant numbers of tourist traffic and road congestion can be acute
at peak times. Water and sewerage and new or upgraded schools are also being built partially for reasons of
growth, in many instances in these same suburbs, while the increases in tourist numbers are seeing capacity
additions in the State’s key airports.
12
The fourth biggest primary driver, regulatory compliance, is of particular importance for sewerage projects, where
significant numbers of existing sewerage treatment plants are not meeting their operating license conditions for
discharge to the environment. Similarly, many of the water projects are also seeking to meet public health
benchmarks or dam safety requirements.
It should be noted that the use of a primary driver may mask other elements driving the need for a project that are
almost equally as important.

Sewerage, 8.3
Health, 6.4
Port, 2.5
Roads, 30.0
Energy, 25.2
Rail, 1.9
7.2.1 Roads
In 2015, the Department of State Growth’s released the State of Our Roads 2015 report which showed an increase
in the growth of traffic volumes over the previous five years, particularly on Category 1 State Roads and by heavy
vehicles on those roads. Unsurprisingly, the Department’s projects since this time have a focus on freight
constraints (road and bridge) and peak commuter upgrades. Recognising the growing driver of visitation, there is
also growing funds being set aside for improving key tourist touring routes and the entryways to high visitation
natural attractions.
13
The key projects on the horizon are dominated by recent announcements from both the Federal and State
Government. The $576 million Bridgewater Bridge is scheduled to start design and approvals in the next financial
year, with completion expected in 2024. Works continue on the upgrade of the Midland Highway with another
$200+ million to be spent in the four years commencing 2019-20. The announcement of $400 million for roads of
strategic importance, with prioritisation being given to the Bass Highway, will see a similar program of
improvements from the commencement of the next Federal funding period. The State Government has also
announced key projects seeking to address growing congestion issues in the Hobart and Launceston CBDs and on
the gateways to the major airports.
It should not be forgotten that while individual project level information was not sought from local councils, of the
approximate $180 million per annum spent by the sector on infrastructure, it is estimated, based on council annual
reports, that around 90% is on local roads and bridges. This continues to be a significant contributor to regional
economic activity.
7.2.2 Energy
Between TasNetworks and Hydro Tasmania, the pipeline includes around $2.0 billion in project level spending in
the sector over the next 10 years. The majority of this is in renewal and maintenance expenditure on existing
generation and network infrastructure, though there are some network projects providing localised capacity
increases to cater for load growth. Renewable energy generation projects undertaken by the private sector are
underway with the Cattle Hill and Granville Harbour wind farms now under construction. These projects have
necessitated some upgrades by TasNetworks to allow their output to be received into the network.
As previously stated, the value of the energy projects does not include a potential second Bass Strait electricity
interconnector from Tasmania to Victoria which is currently at feasibility stage, nor does it include any Battery of
the Nation initiative set of projects which are in conceptual stages and will be included in future iterations of the
Pipeline. Combined these projects total around $6.5 billion.
One project was put forward by TasGas to extend distribution to Smithton to cater primarily for potential
industrial customers in the agricultural and manufacturing sectors, but could also provide options for residential
energy use. While previously examined and not pursued, TasGas consider that this project may now have merit
with Tasmanian Gas Pipeline and Hydro Tasmania having reached an agreement that provides stable gas
transmission pricing.
14
7.2.3 Water, Sewerage and Stormwater
TasWater continues to face a significant task in infrastructure rectification issues, both in terms of sewerage
treatment plant environmental compliance and public health issues associated with smaller drinking water schemes.
It’s ten year, $1.55 billion capital program included in the Pipeline seeks to address these issues.
A recent announcement of the signing of an MOU between TasWater and the State Government for the State to
provide an equity injection into the business in return for an acceleration of the capital program bodes well for a
more rapid improvement of infrastructure condition. Under the MOU, TasWater will use best endeavours to
increase its capital program to $1.8 billion over the period. The MOU may also allow for some economic
development opportunities to be unlocked if the parties are able to release land currently tenanted by wastewater
treatment plants – in particular Macquarie Point and Cameron Bay. The partnership may also assist in progressing
improvements to the health of the Tamar River which has long been impacted by the combined sewerage and
stormwater system in Launceston. Specifically, TasWater will be central to assisting the implementation of
initiatives recently funded under the Tamar Estuary Management Taskforce’s $95 million River Health Action Plan.
7.2.4 Airports
Consistent with recent and forecast growth in tourist visitation, the State’s two main airports are investing in
greater capacity to cater for more flights and passengers, which includes both expansion of aprons in Hobart and
Launceston and terminal infrastructure. With the runway extension to Hobart International Airport now complete,
this not only provides enhanced capacity to service Antarctic requirements, but also meets an important
precondition for the exploration of long haul freight routes and international passenger flights.
7.2.5 Ports
TasPorts is planning upgrades to the Burnie Port to accommodate an international container terminal. The project
was previously thought to require coastal shipping changes to allow greater flexibility for international vessels to
operate on Australian domestic routes, but this now appears to have been overcome and there are plans for works
to commence late in 2018. This has the potential for large cost reductions for shipping internationally from
Tasmania. Significant private investment on the port by Toll Holdings is presently being undertaken to support the
arrival of its new Bass Strait freight vessels.
In the immediate term, TasPorts are also progressing a project to support Hobart Port as an Antarctic Gateway,
including the provision of land and waterside facilities for the Australian Antarctic Division and other research
organisations. Significant investment in the Devonport Port to accommodate the new Spirit of Tasmania Ferries is
also planned.
7.2.6 Irrigation
Following on from the model developed for the ten tranche-1 irrigation schemes it developed, Tasmanian Irrigation
(TI) has now completed construction of another two schemes under the tranche-2 program which included a mix
15
of Tasmanian Government ($50 million total contribution), Australian Government ($85.2 million total
contribution) and additional private investment through the sale of water entitlements. A further three projects are
currently under construction – Duck, Scottsdale and North Esk Schemes – which are due for completion in the
next couple of years and have a collective cost of $120 million.
Another $70 million has been allocated by the State Government for a third tranche of projects which are already
in the feasibility and planning phase by TI. Additional Federal funding commitments are also being sought.
As the schemes start to mature, it is expected that they will have growth related impacts on associated road,
energy, port and shipping infrastructure as, ultimately, the schemes aim to significantly increase the output of
existing production. This increase is expected both in the scale of existing production, but also from land use
change or diversification of existing operations towards higher value crops and livestock that may have been
previously untenable on arid soils, or where there was uncertainty of rainfalls.
7.2.7 Rail
The first tranche of TasRail’s $120 million Freight Rail Revitalisation funding will continue to be rolled out over the
next year. Jointly funded by the Tasmanian and Australian Governments, this program will improve the safety and
reliability of the network and allow TasRail to compete for the State’s non-time sensitive and bulk freight task. In
addition, the announcement of a second tranche of funding under the next Infrastructure Investment Program
agreement with the Federal Government will see these benefits extended further across the network from
2019-20.
7.2.8 Communications
The key communications project on the Tasmanian landscape in recent years has been the roll out of the National
Broadband Network. At its peak, the project is estimated to have been expending around $250 million per annum
in the State, but is now materially complete, with expenditure to deliver improved services on the West Coast all
that remains into 2018-19.
7.2.9 Housing, Health, Education, Justice and Public Safety, Recreation and Visitor
As previously alluded to, there is a planned uplift in expenditure on social infrastructure in the next few years. The
Royal Hobart Hospital redevelopment continues, but the announcement in the State Budget that a new northern
prison and new southern remand prison will be built are both significant undertakings. New or significantly
redeveloped schools at Brighton, Sorell, Cosgrove, Legana and Penguin are key projects in the education space,
while increased spending in affordable and public housing are also significant. As a result of the growth in the
visitor economy, the Government has included allocations for Tasmania’s national parks infrastructure.
16
7.3 Regional spend analysis
While there are a large number of projects put forward that will be state-wide in nature, or will be constructed
across regions (around 34% by value), the value of projects directly attributable to a single region are almost
exactly in line with population shares.
24
49
27
This would suggest that the split of expenditure is appropriate across the population, but drawing trends regarding
the proposed projects based on location should be done with caution. For example, in the case of energy
generation, the physical location of the assets is not necessarily reflective of where economic activity arising from
their use occurs.
17
8. Private Sector Interface with Pipeline
It is not possible to compile a detailed private project pipeline, as the deliberations of many private developers are
commercial in confidence and do not make their way into the public domain until a late stage.
However, the list below captures a number of the publicly announced projects that are in various stages of
development, some which could come on line over the same period covered by the pipeline and some that are
already in early stages of construction. These projects total around $4.1 billion across sectors like accommodation
and tourism, education, mining, manufacturing and property development.
These projects, if they proceed, will have implications for the general construction sector in the State, implications
for the economic infrastructure that will need to support them and which, again, will compete directly with many of
the Pipeline projects for delivery resources. In this context, they are also an important input for many
infrastructure providers and decision makers.

9. Government Sector Construction Projects
There are of course a number of other known and supported Government projects that do not have definitive
timelines in terms of their delivery. Future iterations of the Pipeline will likely pick these up as they come online,
but for the purposes of completeness it is worthy of including them here.
The platform of the energy vision of the State, the Battery of the Nation and second interconnector projects, have
an indicative capital cost of around $6.5 billion. Proposals for pumped hydro projects on the Mersey Forth
scheme and a Tarraleah scheme redevelopment the most likely of the fourteen potential Battery of the Nation
projects that could commence in the ten year period covered by the Pipeline, but the majority of the expenditure
associated with this vision would occur outside the Pipeline timeframe.
The Hobart Transport Vision, which includes plans for a new bus transit centre, cross Derwent ferries and a
northern suburbs light rail, are projects that could shape the way commuters in particular travel to and from the
city of Hobart and are planned for inclusion in the Hobart City Deal that is currently being negotiated The light
rail project in particular could cost in excess of $200 million for the service and corridor componentry, but first
requires additional effort in assessing urban renewal and densification opportunities to underpin future capacity and
capability of this mode of passenger transport. The Cradle Mountain Visitor Centre and Cableway and Tasmania’s
next iconic walk will likely provide important additions to visitor economy offerings.

10. The Pipeline and a State Infrastructure
Strategy
While the Pipeline focuses on the medium term, we must continue to invest in understanding the demographic,
climatic, technological and social trends that will impact our communities into the future. This will signal the early
signs of change which could have significant impacts on the scale or type of infrastructure required.
For example, climate change will bring increased temperatures and alter the frequency and severity of extreme
weather events such as floods and fires. We need to be aware and planning for cost effective adaptation and
mitigation measures to ensure resilience in our infrastructure asset base. Similarly, we have already seen
technology changes in off-grid energy solutions and the impacts this has on maintaining our remaining networks,
while changes like the potential for autonomous vehicles could have profound impacts on road network design and
necessary capacity.
Capturing the Pipeline of projects is a building block in understanding the State’s longer-term infrastructure needs,
but what we have and what we will have is only one piece of the puzzle. Infrastructure Tasmania has been charged
with developing a State Infrastructure Strategy, which is to be developed and presented to the Tasmanian
Government late in 2018.
In addition to utilising the Pipeline to establish a baseline of what we have, what we expect to have and whether
there are gaps, an Infrastructure Strategy will establish a framework to inform the Government’s infrastructure
investment decisions.
It will help prioritise our limited expenditure, particularly given the large cost and long term nature of
infrastructure. It will challenge the accepted norm to construct and will canvass innovative ideas for managing
demand. It will also seek opportunities for better use of infrastructure to unlock economic development for the
State.
It is Infrastructure Tasmania’s intent that a State Infrastructure Strategy take a holistic view across infrastructure
classes to maximise opportunities for achieving the Government’s key priorities for state growth and social welfare.
whether there are infrastructure preconditions to facilitate the Government’s sectoral or social goals;
a review of previous strategic infrastructure plans and planning processes and what learnings they have;
the importance of an evidence base;
the role of land use planning in maximising infrastructure delivery;
approval processes for infrastructure delivery; and
infrastructure financing models and their applicability to the Tasmanian market.
