2. Are We There Yet?
The Importance of Infrastructure and its Delivery

3.  Why Infrastructure?
 Very important
 The base of Western wealth
 Huge scale projects, some of national
importance

7. What I am trying to show is that no
country, region or city ever got rich or
was able to forward itself economically
with out offering something in return.
This something usually was based on
infrastructure

9. There are problems though
“Coasting on Prosperity”
Ernst &Young, 2008.
GFC, Climate Change, Political
Pressures,
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
The Solution????

10.  The saviour: The Market
 Public Private Partnerships
 Build Own Operate transfer
‘BOOT’ Projects

11.  40km of road
 3.2km of tunnels
 17 interchanges
 88 bridges
 Six pedestrian overpasses
 $2.5 billion
 On time (5 months ahead of schedule)
 On cost
 Connect East/Thiess John Holland

12.  A great success, but why is the BOOT/PPP
method so good?
 “The right thing” and “The thing right” World Bank
 High skills of private industry
 Low risk for government
 High incentive for industry
 Innovations
 Better maintenance
 More can be produced when market is charged
with delivering, what are we missing out on?

13. ??????????
No?
Good, lets go home!
