Looking forward to the challenges ahead

n behalf of the CCF WA board, welcome to 2017 John Hovey, Mike Reilly, Tim Ryan and Mick Unger – for their and thank you for continuing to support your ongoing support and guidance (and congratulations to Mick on Federation. his appointment as CCF National President). In my column in last year’s ONSITE Yearbook I Thanks too to our CEO, Jeff Miller and his team who are Opredicted 2016 would be a challenging year for our industry working hard on members’ behalf. and so it proved. CCF WA’s second WA Infrastructure Report, And finally, thanks again to all CCF WA members. Let’s launched late last year, did not provide us with much cause for continue to work together to maintain a strong, sustainable civil optimism for 2017 either. According to that report, prepared construction industry. for us by the infrastructure market forecasting experts at BIS Shrapnel, WA is in the midst of a ‘demand recession’. David Della Bona What that means is that State Final Demand (SFD) – which measures the total value of goods and services sold in the state CCF WA President and is therefore a true measure of economic activity – is, for the first time in a generation, in decline (or negative growth as the economists like to call it). SFD isn’t expected to reverse its current trend and start growing again until 2018. As a consequence of this, unemployment in WA is expected to continue rising, with the construction industry being one of the most affected. BIS Shrapnel says 40,000 construction jobs will be lost over three years (2015/16 - 2018/19). In these uncertain times, we intend that your industry group remains a constant, fulfilling its vital role as the voice of the industry to government and the community, providing education and information, and connecting members through events. While CCF WA has also had to make some adjustments in the light of economic realities, I can assure you that member services have not been compromised. Nor have we taken a backward step in our advocacy to government on behalf of the civil industry. We certainly have been heartened by the loyalty of our members. Almost 130 civil contractors are currently full members of CCF WA, only a few short of the peak attained during the boom. Associate membership numbers have also proved resilient even though the market for goods and services is very tough. One measure of the value in which CCF WA is held is the response to our awards programs, and in this respect, we are more than holding our own. We were pleasantly surprised to receive 21 entries for the 2016 CCF WA Earth Awards – five more then the previous high. And the 2016 CCF WA Industry & Training Awards attracted 39 entries, another record. As this column is being written, preparations are well underway for the President’s Dinner (February 17), at which the Industry & Training Awards winners will be announced. I’m looking forward to hosting the night and catching up with members. I would like to wrap up by extending sincere thanks to my fellow CCF WA board members – Vice President Steve Tennant, Honorary Treasurer Steve Pollard, Mark Armstrong, Stuart Buckby,

Contracts must be honoured

ith a State Election looming, the civil Infrastructure Australia recently noted that public ownership construction industry again finds itself as the ‘distorts outcomes, stifles competition and harms consumers’. unwilling meat in a political sandwich. IA has also called for greater government investment in The stakes are even higher this time, with the infrastructure, which was a key recommendation of CCF WA’s WOpposition promising to tear up a contract and halt a project recently released report, WA Infrastructure Report 2017: a that is already underway – Roe 8. construction economy in transition. CCF WA has written to Opposition leader Mark McGowan The Western Power sale would certainly help meet our future asking him to reconsider such a dangerous and unprecedented infrastructure challenges. However, we want to see the State (in this State at least) move. Government – backed by a Federal Government guarantee – We told Mr McGowan that CCF WA does not defend the immediately invest in more infrastructure. This is a message we largely uncoordinated approach to infrastructure planning by will continue to push, whatever the result of the State election. the current and previous State Governments, and we strongly support his plan to address this by establishing an independent Jeff Miller infrastructure advisory body (“Infrastructure WA”) that would provide coordinated, evidence-based information to assist CCF WA CEO government decide on infrastructure priorities. We made the point that the Roe 8 and Roe 9 projects have been shown by Federal independent advisory body Infrastructure Australia to have a positive cost-benefit analysis (IA has reported a “high level of confidence that the proposed solution will deliver net economic benefits”) and are therefore worthy of bipartisan support. So on the one hand, Labor is promoting the benefits to government of independent, expert infrastructure advice, while on the other it says it will cancel a project that has been endorsed by an independent, expert infrastructure advisor. Addressing the claim that it was irresponsible of the State Government to sign the Roe 8 contracts, we pointed out that the contracts were signed a full five months before the election and that the signing of the contract was just one step in a procurement process that began more than a year before that time. As members know all too well, government procurement processes involve a substantial investment in time and money by the companies tendering for the project. Once procurement on a project has begun, it should not be subject to political interference – such interference is unfair on the people and companies involved who have entered the process in good faith. For more on some of the myths surrounding Roe 8 and Roe 9, see my article on page 10. Another issue we believe should be receiving bipartisan support is the part-sale of Western Power, which would be an important step towards addressing Western Australia’s significant infrastructure deficit. Like Roe 8, debate on the Western Power sale has been clouded by myth and misinformation. Opponents of privatisation continue to make the false claim that power prices would rise, and have even gone as far as misrepresenting statements by Australian Competition and Consumer Commission Chairman Rod Sims, who has clarified that privatisation into a well-regulated market – as is intended in WA – should actually lower prices and be beneficial to consumers.

CCF WA ONSITE Yearbook Q1 2017 9 Comment The facts on Roe 8 and 9 It's time for the facts to be heard on Roe 8 and the proposed Roe 9 tunnel. Myths and half-truths have overtaken sensible discussion about this critical piece of infrastructure.

Myth – Roe 8 and Roe 9 are Greens don’t seem to be discussing those Opponents of the project claim that afterthoughts and there’s no business benefits. Fremantle Port is almost full and that we case Even if Fremantle Port was immediately need the Outer Harbour. The State government took its plans for decommissioned (which wouldn’t There are several issues with this Roe 8 to the 2008 election. The corridor realistically happen for decades) Roe 8 argument.

The current port precinct would containers a year. That could grow to been made public due to commercial likely be converted to residential and 2.5 million to 3 million. Well before the sensitivities related to the freight toll, commercial uses, increasing the need for physical capacity of the port is reached, however it is simply untrue to claim there a major highway to service Fremantle. the social capacity would be exceeded. It’s is no business case. the number of truck movements that are After assessing the business case, Myth – The Outer Harbour is a viable, the issue, and community acceptance of Infrastructure Australia said it “considers near-term option and Fremantle Port is the number of trucks. It’s not the size of that the proponent has provided good nearly at capacity the port itself. Ironically, building a better evidence” and “has a high level of confidence that the proposed solution will deliver net economic benefits”.

Myth – Roe 8 and Roe 9 are all about Fremantle Port Promoting the freeway as a ‘freight link’ has allowed opponents to frame their argument around Fremantle Port. More than 85 percent of the users of Roe 8 and Roe 9 – an estimated 74,000 vehicles per day – will be private passenger vehicles. Despite being a minority user of the road, the freight industry is helping to foot the bill. It’s sensible for them to do so because when Roe 8, Roe 9 and NorthLink are completed, trucks will go from the port to Muchea (where road trains de-couple) without having to stop for traffic lights – saving the freight industry millions of dollars annually. It will be much safer, and far kinder on the environment, without trucks Roe 8 has been designed to set a new standard for major road projects in this type of sensitive having to stop and start.

10 CCF WA ONSITE Yearbook Q1 2017 road to the port alleviates this concern. It extends the life of the port. Second, no one has explained where the state would get the estimated $5 billion to develop the Outer Harbour. Or the billion-plus dollars for the arterial roads that would be needed to service it. Third, Outer Harbour proponents conveniently ignore the hundreds of environmental issues that would need to be overcome before it, and its road network, could be developed. The Greens will, no doubt, choose to fight those battles another day. Even if a decision was made today to develop the Outer Harbour, it would likely be a decade, or more, before it was operational. In the meantime, Leach Highway and South Street are already heavily congested. The reality is the Outer Harbour may never be approved, let alone developed. Even if it is approved, it may never be funded. What we know for sure is that with Roe 8 and Roe 9 operational, we future-proof Fremantle Port and delay the need for an Outer Harbour, with significantly less overall impact on the environment.

Myth – It’s a ‘road to nowhere’ The argument is that the road doesn’t go all the way to the Fremantle Port, so it’s a waste of money. The freight industry doesn’t think so and they’re willing to put their money into it. And over 85 percent of the users (private citizens) won’t ever go to Fremantle Port anyway. The Kwinana and Mitchell Freeways don’t take any of us all the way home. No highway or freeway ever needs to. It gets us close – that’s the objective.

Myth – Rail is the answer About 14 percent of containers are currently moved from the port by rail. Further government subsidies are needed to move more freight from road to rail. Regardless of the incentives offered, rail cannot take most freight where it needs to go. Even if an intermodal facility were developed to optimise the use of rail (such a facility is uncosted, unfunded and no environmental impacts have been undertaken) it is highly unlikely that rail patronage would increase significantly enough to alleviate today’s road congestion, let alone future problems.

Myth – The environment will be worse off Roe 8 has gone through the proper environmental processes. All appeals have been heard. Over $40 million has been allocated to environmental, cultural and heritage issues. And to put the environmental impact of the project into perspective, it will affect a tiny portion (0.49%) of the Beeliar Wetlands, most of which is already degraded. The wetlands will be left better off.

Myth – The $1.2 billion in Federal funds for Roe 8 and 9 will be re-purposed for other projects The Federal government has granted $1.2 billion in total for Roe 8 and Roe 9. The funding cannot be applied to another project or projects. If the contracts are cancelled, there will be job losses. Roe 8 will employ 500 people directly and nearly 3,400 indirectly. The direct employment on Roe 9 will be 1,000 with up to 10,000 indirect jobs created. It’s difficult to see any scenario where WA will not be over a billion dollars – and thousands of jobs – worse off in the next two or three years. There are no major projects that are ready to go to replace Roe 8 and Roe 9. For Roe 8, an elected government has made its decision. All processes have been followed, communities consulted and appeals heard. Funding has been allocated, contracts have been signed and construction work on Roe 8 has commenced. The contractors should now be allowed to get on with their job. 

AIBAG also extends their service to all supervisory personnel so that lines of communication with Aboriginal employees remain open at a site level. This support of our Aboriginal employees has directly resulted in Brierty becoming an employer of choice within the Aboriginal community. Brierty has a commitment to procure a minimum of 3% of total expenditure from Aboriginal businesses, subcontractors and suppliers.
