Details
With confidence returning to the mining industry, the WA economy continues to turn the corner and is expected to be the fastest growing state by 2020. The State Government is heavily investing in job-creating economic infrastructure, with $3.6 billion allocated for Metronet Projects, $3.2 billion for roads, $655 million towards health infrastructure and a $22.2 billion investment towards education in the recent budget.
Against this backdrop, the 10th Annual WA Major Projects Conference will provide a high-level forum for attendees to discuss and debate major infrastructure projects in the pipeline for the State. Key topics that will be discussed at the conference include the Westport Strategy, Metronet, The Precincts Program, New Runway Project, BHP South Flank Project expansion along with projects across sectors such as health, education, housing, ports, water and energy.
The 2-day event will offer highly valuable networking opportunities where construction managers, operators, contractors, consultants and investors can learn about what projects are in the pipeline and capitalise on the business opportunities being created.
