State Infrastructure Strategy 2022: Foundations for a Stronger Tomorrow

Western Australia’s (WA) first State Infrastructure Strategy (Strategy) lays the foundations for infrastructure planning, delivery and management for the next 2 decades. It represents a significant step forward in the way government plans, delivers and manages infrastructure across the state.

Foundations for a Stronger Tomorrow outlines the state's significant infrastructure needs and priorities. It provides a long-term vision and infrastructure outlook underpinned by 6 strategic opportunities and 10 strategy objectives and is divided into broad infrastructure types categorised as 7 cross-cutting themes and 9 infrastructure sectors. It reaches across WA’s 10 regions, to identify both build and non-build solutions such as policy reforms and priority projects and programs.

Throughout the development of the Strategy and its extensive consultation process, a number of core themes were identified that underpin Infrastructure WA's (IWA) recommendations. These core themes include:

  • Managing demand for infrastructure through prevention, early intervention and pricing
  • Improving the quality and consistency of strategic infrastructure planning and processes
  • Addressing climate change
  • Implementing data sharing and other tools to support infrastructure planning and investment decision making 
  • Optimising the existing infrastructure asset base
  • Identifying major infrastructure project and programs.
