CCF WA President CCF WA’s other ‘big night’ on the events calendar, the Earth Awards, showcases the projects and infrastructure that we build, the inevitable challenges overcome and the successes achieved. The President’s Dinner is our turn to celebrate individual and organisational excellence. Getting the most from our people and our organisations is perhaps more important now than it ever has been. Many members are currently facing the challenges of a rapidly changing market, driven by a slowdown in resource-related construction leading to greater competition in other industry sectors such as roads and land development. But this doesn’t have to be wholly a bad thing. With the right mindset, we can treat the challenges thrown at us by today’s highly competitive market as opportunities to improve the performances of ourselves and our businesses. All of us are frustrated by government red tape, but I expect that many of us are hampered by our own red tape, in the form of unnecessary or duplicative policies and procedures that don’t add value to our businesses. In fact, a recent report prepared by Deloitte found that the cost to Australian businesses of administering and complying with government regulation, some $95 billion, was actually exceeded by the $155 billion cost of ‘self-imposed red tape’ – the rules and processes we inflict on ourselves. A tightening market creates the impetus to cut that red tape in our own businesses and to renew our focus on efficiency. Similarly, we have suffered chronic skills shortages that drove high turnover of labour and the need to import skills from overseas. Now, however, we have the opportunity to invest more in our people and give them opportunities to develop, without hiding behind the excuse that we’re “too busy to train”. In many ways, the paradigm has shifted from being time-driven to cost-driven. During the boom, we were 2 CCF WA ONSITE Autumn 2015 0905 CEO’s Report Time for fresh thinking CF WA welcomes the State Opposition’s reaffirmed unless the state government grasps its opportunity and builds more commitment to a 20-year infrastructure plan for infrastructure.

We need political leaders with vision While opponents of “Infrastructure WA” have dismissed it who are willing to debunk the myth that any government debt is as planning for planning’s sake, the reality is that our state has undesirable. We need leaders who can persuade the public that a planning vacuum that desperately needs to be filled.

Infrastructure provision needs to be timely, orderly, and based on rigorous cost-benefit analyses. Jeff Miller We would expect that if elected in 2017, Labor would make its CCF WA CEO policy a high priority, with a view to ensuring infrastructure is not politicised at subsequent elections. Infrastructure WA could also play a valuable role in examining innovative ways to fund infrastructure. The private sector is keen to get more involved, if the right mechanisms are put in place – not just traditional Private Public Partnerships, but truly innovative mechanisms such as the ‘inverted bid’ model proposed by Australia’s super funds. And thanks to current Federal Government incentives, asset recycling is an attractive option too. There’s another funding mechanism that we believe doesn’t get the attention it merits – funding infrastructure through debt. Last year I wrote in this column that the timing was ripe for governments to take advantage of the freed up capacity in the civil construction sector caused by the cooling of activity in resources-related construction. One year later, a great deal of that excess capacity is still on tap, ready to be harnessed and deliver value for money for governments. (According to a recent report in WA Business News, Treasurer Mike Nahan has acknowledged it is an opportune time to build infrastructure, with the government saving up to 20% on some projects due to bids being lower than projected.) Inevitably, however, that capacity will disappear We need political leaders with vision who are willing to debunk the myth that any government debt is undesirable. 4 CCF WA ONSITE Autumn 2015 Get the most out of your Mobile Workforce 10% discount to all CCF Members!
