Infrastructure Australia made collaboration a significant focus for the 2021 Plan, which we developed following an extensive stakeholder engagement program for the 2019 Audit.
Prior to publishing the 2019 Audit, we received feedback from more than 4,000 stakeholders.
Our approach included several briefing sessions, such as government drop-in sessions and targeted industry briefings, and key stakeholders received advance copies.
There was also a formal submissions process for the 2019 Audit, which attracted 151 submissions from government, industry, academia and a small number of private individuals.
Generally, the feedback was positive, with 44% of submissions offering favourable feedback and half providing balanced feedback.
A small number of submissions included factual corrections, which were limited to the water sector.
A minor number included negative sentiments about the Audit's findings or methodology.
All these views have helped to shape this Plan.
Each chapter has also been informed by an extensive sector-specific engagement program that targeted industry experts, government and academics.
