QMCA Major Projects Report - 2016
Key messages
• Major Project work has fallen 40% since 2012/13 peak
– Another 50% decline coming through in 2015/16 alone
• Stabilisation, then uptick, in work requires new funding
– Governments need to commit to a long term infrastructure plan
• Features of good infrastructure planning and delivery
–
–
–
–
Based on sound project selection (Building Queensland a good step)
Builds ahead of demand and targets biggest infrastructure gaps
Is flagged to industry well in advance, and is adhered to
Funded sustainably, and impervious to the economic cycle

Key messages
•

•
Infrastructure gaps still exist – Infrastructure Australia
Challenge now is funding infrastructure requirements
Political debate threatens to stall investment rollout
All funding alternatives should be on the table

“Increasing public investment (financed
by more borrowing rather than offsetting
measures) would support aggregate
demand and ensure against downside
risks. It would also employ resources
released by the mining sector, catalyse
private investment, boost productivity,
take advantage of record-low borrowing
rates, and maintain the government’s net
worth. Indeed, IMF research suggests
that economies like Australia—with an
output gap, accommodative monetary
policy, and fiscal space—benefit most
from debt-financed infrastructure
investment, with the growth boost
largely containing the impact on the
(low) debt-to-GDP ratio.” – IMF (2015)

QMCA Major Projects Report - 2016
Implications
• For Governments: an opportunity to implement “best
practice” long term planning, funding and procuring for
infrastructure investment
• For industry: a tougher environment remains but
opportunities will emerge in market segments and
regions. Keep investing in skills, lock in lower costs where
possible, and understand the changes coming through.
QMCA Major Projects Report - 2016
Recommendations
1. Expand scope of productive infrastructure investment in
2016-17 State and Federal Budgets
2. Promptly release of a financially sustainable long run
infrastructure plan to provide industry confidence
3. Develop skills strategies to sustain the Queensland
construction industry in face of changing demands
4. Ensure rigorous economic analysis is undertaken (and
made available) in selecting infrastructure projects
QMCA Major Projects Report - 2016
Recommendations
5. Governments to follow through with reforms to
procurement processes as outlined by PC2014
6. Move towards a uniform contractual frameworks with
consistent contract risk allocation
7. Continue to tackle risks to productivity growth in the
construction industry
8. Budget reforms to eliminate structural deficits and
separate reporting of capex and opex items
