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.

While with us, the IA team provided an update to our Board on some of their key recent and upcoming activities, joined the Board in a workshop on respect, culture and values led by Dr Richard Walley OAM and his son Alton, and visited several strategic infrastructure sites.

Strategy vision and objectives
