Description

cacchorz


There is a need for economically viable public assets and other key infrastructure to meet the growing demands of Australia's future. Please join us as industry leaders debate the following issues:

  • Who is best placed to fund these infrastructure requirements (eg government, domestic or foreign investors)
  • Does this differ between different asset classes?
  • How important are our tax and other government policy settings in encouraging infrastructure investments?
