Infrastructure is very important and has been the base of Western wealth, but there are challenges in funding and delivering large infrastructure projects. Public-private partnerships and the "build, own, operate, transfer" model are presented as solutions that can leverage private industry skills while managing risk and incentivizing high quality and innovation in infrastructure delivery. A case study example of a successful PPP highway project that was delivered on time and on budget is discussed.

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

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?

No?
Good, lets go home!
