First released in March 2004, the plan presents ambitious targets to focus government, business and community efforts on six key strategic objectives: • growing prosperity • improving wellbeing • attaining sustainability • fostering creativity • building communities • expanding opportunity An update of South Australia’s Strategic Plan was released early in 2007. It contains an infrastructure target to match the national average in terms of investment in key economic and social infrastructure, as well as specific targets in areas such as water, energy, telecommunications and transport. The government has taken a number of steps to improve the public sector processes that underpin the government’s capital investment programme, including: • building public sector skills and capabilities in business case development, procurement and contract management; • reforming government policy for managing real property • adopting more innovative approaches to procurement and funding of capital projects.
