Many of the proposals made to Infrastructure Australia have been submitted on a confidential basis. Feedback from jurisdictions has indicated some uncertainty as to the treatment of material provided to Infrastructure Australia. In addition, there have been calls for Infrastructure Australia to release more details about the initiatives it has recommended.
In order to ensure maximum transparency while being sensitive to issues of commercial and other confidentiality, proponents are asked to indicate which parts of their submission have been submitted to Infrastructure Australia on a confidential basis and to provide a brief explanation of the reasons for the request for confidentiality. Infrastructure Australia may further discuss such requests with proponents, with a view to maximising the amount of information that can be made public.
