  • CCIQ SUBMISSION Strong Choices Investment Program
    CCIQ SUBMISSION Strong Choices Investment Program CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY QUEENSLAND 15 September 2014 1.0 Introduction and Summary 1.1 The Chamber of Commerce and Industry Queensland (CCIQ) welcomes the opportunity to make a submission to the State Government on the Strong Choices Investment Program with respect to preferred infrastructure investment in Queensland. CCIQ is the State’s peak business and employer organisation. We represent the views and issues of over 25,000 businesses across all industry sectors and regions of Queensland. 1.2 CCIQ believes that the State Government will ultimately need to satisfy the Queensland community of the benefit of asset sales and long-term leases across five key areas namely: price, service, budget, balance sheet, and infrastructure. Should benefit be proven across the first four areas, then CCIQ believes the benefit to infrastructure is enormous. 1.3 Infrastructure plays a crucial role in driving business investment, growth and productivity. For businesses to thrive and remain competitive in a global marketplace, it is essential that infrastructure development and addressing current and future bottlenecks is of top priority. An investment in infrastructure represents an investment in the future prosperity of our state and the economy. 1.4 CCIQ often receives feedback from Queensland businesses that existing infrastructure networks are deficient and are not meeting the needs of a growing population and economy. In particular, Queensland’s transport infrastructure requires significant attention and investment in order to achieve the desired outcomes of improved capacity, reliability, efficiency and safety. Other infrastructure networks identified by businesses that require attention include energy and communications.
