INTEGRATED INFRASTRUCTURE | E23 | Adrian Dwyer – A 2020 Infrastructure review and the outlook for 2021!

In this episode, the last of 2020, I welcome Adrian Dwyer to the Podcast. Adrian is CEO of Infrastructure Partnerships Australia, the country’s leading infrastructure think tank and who represent users and taxpayers through advocacy, education and policy work. In this episode we talk about: · The role of IPA and great work it does in representing all of us in industry. · We talk about the great work it does in informing through its own podcast, website and papers which leads us into a conversation about Waste to Energy. · We talk about the year we were supposed to have the fantastic collaborations that pulled the industry through COVID. · We discuss the role Infrastructure will play in driving our economic recovery, why governments can borrow at rock bottom rates to fund it and the different roles going forward for funding models like asset recycling and PPP’s. · We talk about the outlook for 2021, skills, immigration and the need to make sure we invest in the right projects going forward. · Finally, we talk about some of the reforms that will come out of COVID and how everyone deserves a bloody good break!
