Acknowledgements

This chapter has been developed through extensive research, analysis, engagement and consultation. Infrastructure Australia acknowledges the contribution of a wide range of stakeholders across multiple sectors and Jurisdictions that have provided feedback on the 2021 Plan.

We particularly thank the Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute, our partners on this chapter. We would also like to acknowledge the valuable contribution of public sector agencies from governments at all levels, in particular the state and territory infrastructure bodies.

We also received valuable assistance with content from Swinburne University of Technology and Queensland University of Technology.

We particularly value the specific feedback on social infrastructure that Infrastructure Australia received in response to the 2019 Audit.
