I refer to the Economic Audit Committee Final Report Recommendation (18), ‘Reinvigorate the Infrastructure Coordinating Committee and task it with, and hold it accountable for, facilitation of coordinated strategic infrastructure planning within the Western Australian Government. This body should:
(a) be reconstituted to include major infrastructure Agencies including the Department of the Premier and Cabinet, the Department of Treasury and Finance (DTF), major Government Trading Enterprises and departments with significant infrastructure programs, chaired by DTF;
(b) oversee the development of a long-term (up to 20 years) whole of State land use and infrastructure investment plan;
(c) play a key role in ensuring coordinated infrastructure planning between Agencies over this timeframe; and
(d) advise the Government on infrastructure prioritisation over a long-term timeframe’,
and I ask -
(1) What Departments and/or Government trading enterprises will be included on the reinvigorated committee apart from the addition of the Department of Premier and Cabinet?
(2) When will the committee be formed and what are the set tasks for the committee?
(3) Who will have the overall responsibility for this committee?
(4) How will the committee ensure coordinated infrastructure planning between Agencies?
(5) How will prioritisation of infrastructure be determined?
(6) What is the timeframe for the development of a long-term (up to 20 years) whole of State land use and infrastructure investment plan?
(7) Within what timeframe can we expect the Government to be advised on infrastructure priorities?
(8) How will savings be achieved by implementing recommendation 17?
(9) What is the total expected savings to Government on an annual basis from recommendation number 17 of the Economic Audit Committee?
