WA Major Projects Conference
"Securing the State's Economic Future"

The “WA Major Projects Conference” will be held on the 29th & 30th of March 2010 at the Perth Convention Centre, Perth, WA .

One of the greatest challenges which we are faced with today is the creation of infrastructure to sustain the high economic growth and enhance the standard of living. To develop a world-class infrastructure, the priority of the WA State Government has been to partner with both the private sector and the Commonwealth to deliver these projects that in turn will underpin the State's future economic development which is essential in shaping the future of WA.

Infrastructure provides essential functions for the economy and society such as transportation, water, energy & urban development. While each of these sectors has their own specific characteristics, they have much in common: their adequate operation depends on the effectiveness and interplay of complex physical and institutional networks. The WA State Government is investing immensely into various transport, water, energy & urban development projects. These projects will give rise to immense opportunities within the state. Best practices and cutting edge technologies will be put into place to ensure optimal results are achieved from the early stages of the design, throughout the project delivery.

The State Government is anticipating a $409 million surplus in 2009 / 10, and is working to:

  • protect jobs and support the economy;
  • secure the State's economic future;
  • support families and our community; and
  • protect the State's finances.

The times ahead are filled with opportunities and the "WA Major Projects Conference” is intended to help delegates take advantage of the emerging opportunities through learning and sharing.

The conference will provide the ideal opportunity to examine projects shaping the state with the main aim being to assist both the public as well the private sector in better understanding the WA Market and providing them with an effective, efficient and environmentally viable means of being involved with projects.

Sectors covered in the conference agenda:

  • Roads
  • Rail
  • Ports
  • Public Transport
  • Freight & Logistics
  • Housing
  • Land & Property
  • Health
  • Power
  • Water

High profile speakers from both Public and Private sectors will deliver an informative and exciting program including an interactive forum which will discuss the procurement chain and assist contractors in getting involved with these major projects in WA.

The announcement of major projects and policies will enable the conference's high level attendees to better examine and identify the business and investment opportunities that are taking shape in their industries.

By providing a high-level forum for discussion, debate and doing business, this conference will help contractors, suppliers, and the public sector to work together in ensuring that the WA Market is still the best place to live, invest and do business.
