Event Outline

There are times when the best laid infrastructure plans require a separate, specialised and specific infrastructure agreement for arrangements that sit outside of the existing assumptions.

But what is an Infrastructure Agreement ? What are they meant to achieve and who prepares an Infrastructure Agreement? This seminar will educate in relation to the myths, challenges and opportunities Infrastructure Agreements provide.

About the series

This ten-part seminar series is designed to challenge the myths, challenges and opportunities for planning, providing, construction and financing infrastructure – from preparing a business case for large infrastructure projects to ensuring that water and sewer pipes are in the right locations with sufficient capacity. Beyond the pipes and powerlines, what about the provision of social infrastructure that all communities need to survive and thrive. In respect to communities, how are their views taken into account and considered in infrastructure provisions. There are many myths, challenges and opportunities in the infrastructure space. Each of our experienced speakers in this series is open to discussing these important matters and ensuring that we speak to how the provision of infrastructure can be improved and sustained
