Key achievements to date include the establishment and implementation of the following election commitments:
- Infrastructure WA, including developing a 20-year State infrastructure strategy to advise and assist the Western Australian Government on infrastructure related matters; and
- Market-Led Proposals policy to provide an innovative opportunity for Government and the private sector to work together to consider and develop unique proposals which have not been requested by Government. Successful proposals will assist in creating jobs and stimulate the Western Australian economy.
