Why wait for Government? Customer-led DIY infrastructure

Customer-led ‘do it yourself’ (DIY) infrastructure is
a national investment priority. It is a call to un-limit
the nation’s assets and services to greater dynamism
and entrepreneurial uplift. Australia has a rich
history of infrastructure protagonists where their
legacies are scattered across the vastness of
Australia’s landscape.

Its rivers and coastline show where individuals and
communities banded together to finance fund and
build warehouses, wharves, roads, bridges and
railway lines. It is not an exaggeration to say that
Australia’s do it yourself attitude has been a major
driver of the Australian economy.

Changes from new technology and escalating
community preferences for energy, transport,
water and waste highlight that infrastructure in
the 21st century is shifting so services, data and
choice are the new levers of enduring growth, jobs
and opportunity.

But is the nation readying itself for this future?

Political volatility may continue, however the
leadership of all infrastructure stakeholders
must prevail.
