"She'll be right !" The truth is she (the State of Western Australia) will be more than alright, based on the positive messages of investment coming out of this morning's breakfast session hosted by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry WA. In this session the keynote speakers raised some interesting and positive points when it comes to investment within the State, some of my key takeaways can be found below: 🔑 Key Notes 🔑 1️⃣ $318 Billion Dollars of investment set for the State of WA. 2️⃣ WA is a strong State, thanks to its association with the mining and minerals sectors. 3️⃣ There was an acknowledgement of our highly skilled workforce in respects to green energy projects and the capabilities within WA. 4️⃣ Outside of the mining and mineral sectors, there is focus on other sectors such as Defence and Technology. 5️⃣ By the State having such a strong financial position, this is aiding in supporting the investment into infrastructure. 6️⃣ We are set to see an investment of $43.9 Billion Dollars within the next 4 years. 7️⃣ The Nett debit has reduced beyond forecasted predictions. 8️⃣ There will be further investment into decarbonisation projects and energy projects. 9️⃣ Transport efficiency is a key area for focus, whereby some positive strides have already been made in this regard. 🔟 Two particular projects of interest for myself were mentioned, those being the port of Kwinana and the development of the new Perth exhibition centre. #infrastructureprojects #construction #investment
