Recommendation
35. Improve 2-way public and private sector information sharing about infrastructure capacity by:
- developing statements of opportunity to identify surplus capacity or constraints in public infrastructure networks, in collaboration with industry, to harness opportunities or address barriers
- undertaking place-based assessments of future public and private sector infrastructure intentions, including public and private utility providers, to identify the cumulative impacts of large-scale investments on demand for services and infrastructure, as well as opportunities for greater coordination. An initial pilot should be conducted on the Pilbara region.
