Stakeholder engagement is a significant focus of the 2021 Australian Infrastructure Plan.
Infrastructure Australia engaged with more than 5,500 individuals, including domestic and global policy leaders, to test our conclusions and identify reform opportunities.
By engaging with the experts who will ultimately implement the reforms, we have equipped our reform agenda with the best available evidence so we can provide stakeholders with tools that increase the chance of successful reform.
Each chapter of the 2021 Plan has also been informed by an extensive sector-specific engagement program that targeted industry experts, government, and academia. These experts, our research partners and peer reviewers have all played a critical part in building a practical and evidence-based reform agenda across sectors.
In addition, we engaged extensively with stakeholders for the 2019 Audit and ran a formal stakeholder submissions process. We received 151 formal submissions from government, industry and academia, as well as a small number of individuals.
All this feedback was considered when developing the 2021 Plan.
