The Preparation of Infrastructure Australia Submissions | TMN | 11 August 2022

This AITPM online webinar focuses around the requirements and approaches of practitioners preparing IA business case submissions. Infrastructure Australia submissions are a key step in the funding of many large infrastructure projects across Australia. The process required has a number of key steps that require proponents to provide objective reasoning as to the value of the problem, consideration to a range of options, followed by the justification of the proposed solution through economic and strategic measures.

Please join us for three presentations by eminent specialists, followed by a Q&A.
