The 2019 Audit presents a forward-looking view of Australia’s infrastructure challenges and opportunities over the next 15 years and beyond. The Audit is a truly collaborative document, spanning across themes, sectors and geographies.

Infrastructure Australia CEO Romilly Madew AO provides an update on the key achievements of Infrastructure Australia during her first three months in the role. She also outlines what to expect from Infrastructure Australia's next major releases, including the forthcoming 2019 Australian Infrastructure Audit and 2020 Infrastructure Priority List.

Infrastructure Australia is committed to ensuring that decisions on infrastructure funding and reform are based on independent, evidence-based advice. We want to make our advice as accessible as possible to all Australians – be they community members, those responsible for developing project business cases, or infrastructure decision-makers.

Infrastructure Australia launches the 2019 Infrastructure Priority List, the consensus list of the infrastructure investments Australia needs over the next 15 years.

Thank you to those of you who have already provided feedback on our Australian Infrastructure Audit (the Audit) released on 22 May 2015.

The Plan will address the key challenges raised by the Audit and identify a range of investment and reform priorities to be implemented in the coming 15 years and beyond.

I am pleased to send you my first newsletter as Chief Executive Officer of Infrastructure Australia (IA). I hope to provide you with regular CEO updates on IA's work and issues that might be of interest to you.
