New resource showcasing WA's major infrastructure projects

• WA Pipeline of Works interactive dashboard launched
• Features a comprehensive list of current and future infrastructure projects
• Provides increased transparency around infrastructure spending

The Cook Government has today launched a new online dashboard featuring $8.7 billion worth of public works to assist Western Australia's construction industry plan and prepare to bid for Government tenders.

The Pipeline of Works interactive dashboard features current and planned non-residential building and other infrastructure projects, many of which are managed by the Department of Finance and form a key part of the State Government's unprecedented $43.9 billion Asset Investment Program.

The dashboard, in conjunction with the State Infrastructure Plan and State Budget Papers, increases transparency around infrastructure spending and provides a trusted source of information with updated forecasts and data to attract new entrants to WA's building market and encourage increased competition and innovation.

WA is thriving with a number of projects currently underway and many more planned, leading to additional job opportunities and making WA an attractive place for people interstate and overseas to work and live.

The dashboard provides information about many of these major projects including hospitals, schools, and other developments.

Programs of works, ICT-related projects and METRONET and other Transport-related projects continue to be available from other State Government agency websites and publications.

Comments attributed to Treasurer Rita Saffioti:

"Our Government's record $43.9 billion Asset Investment Program is setting up our State for the future, and importantly, providing massive opportunities for local construction businesses and workers.

"This dashboard will be a key tool in helping these local companies to plan ahead, prepare and bid for potential jobs and make adjustments to their business as required, like increasing their workforce, to deliver these vital projects."

Comments attributed to Finance Minister Sue Ellery:

"The Pipeline of Works interactive dashboard demonstrates the Cook Government's commitment to enhancing economic and social outcomes for the State as we continue to create jobs and opportunities through Government spending.

"The interactive dashboard assists local businesses as they plan and prepare to bid for WA Government tenders relating to non-residential and other infrastructure projects.

"This will also support efforts to expand market capacity to deal with the current and future work volume.

"I encourage local industry to click on to this new user-friendly dashboard and view the upcoming tendering opportunities across WA."
