Minister’s message

The Hodgman majority Liberal Government’s ambitious jobs and growth

targets for Tasmania require a commitment to provide the infrastructure that

supports economic opportunity and enhanced productivity.

As Minister for State Growth and Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, I

am pleased that Tasmania’s program of works captured in this document

reflects a growing economy and a positive future for all parts of our State.

Strategic investment in our public infrastructure – including our roads, bridges,

ports, airports, rail lines and ferries – enables our businesses to invest and

grow jobs. We must also invest in our essential service and community

infrastructure, such as our schools, hospitals, public housing, prisons, courts

and sporting and cultural facilities.

Our economy remains one of the fastest growing in Australia. Tourism is

booming, our construction industry continues to lead the country and business confidence remains at nation-

leading levels. Our 2019-20 Budget included a record $3.6 billion investment into intergenerational infrastructure

supporting future growth, investment attraction and job creation. I particularly acknowledge the investment in our

program by the Morrison Federal Government. This exceptional partnership is creating jobs in Tasmania and

leading to significant economic and community outcomes.

This second annual Tasmanian Infrastructure Project Pipeline demonstrates continued very strong levels of

investment, with a spend of almost $1.6 billion expected in 2019-20, up on the prior period.

An additional $300 million investment is planned for roads and bridges in the coming year. This follows the almost

$290 million expended last year. Among the significant projects is the $30 million Tasman Highway Airport

Interchange, which is due to commence construction in early 2020, and the suite of projects comprising the

Greater Hobart Traffic Solution. The $120 million redevelopment of Devonport East port is expected to begin this

year, along with the second tranche of investment under TasRail’s Freight Rail Revitalisation Program.

More than $1 billion in social infrastructure spending was announced in the 2019-20 State Budget, including an

additional $63 million for Royal Hobart Hospital upgrades, the commencement of the new Penguin School,

procurement of the Southern Remand Centre and Risdon Prison Shared Facilities Upgrade and a new $10 million

indoor multi-sports facility in southern Tasmania.

The response from the civil construction sector to Tasmania’s growing infrastructure demand was very positive

following the release of the initial Pipeline. The Industry Roundtables that followed the release of the Pipeline

resulted in a compact between industry and the State Government to work together on the development of a

workforce development plan to deliver our record forward program of infrastructure projects. This work has

driven a culture of engagement in training and workforce planning in the sector to not only meet existing challenges

but to be prepared for the new skills and technological advancements required for the future.

The Hodgman majority Liberal Government’s second Infrastructure Project Pipeline tells a positive story of growth

that will ensure future generations benefit from infrastructure investments made today.

CEO’s message

Infrastructure Tasmania is pleased to be able to present the second Tasmanian

Infrastructure Project Pipeline. It covers the range of Government-provided

infrastructure, along with some helpful additions. We anticipate the aggregated

project information contained in the Pipeline will again assist industry

participants with their decision making and resourcing.

Infrastructure investment is a key facilitator of economic activity. Not only

does it create jobs directly, it is the fabric that allows our economy to function,

ensuring people are able to travel where they need to for work and recreation

and that the essential services we rely on in our everyday life are available and

in working order.

Our Pipeline covers both economic and social infrastructure. Economic infrastructure includes roads, rail, energy,

water and sewerage, irrigation, stormwater, ports, airports and communications and is a key focus of the Pipeline.

Social infrastructure includes public housing, schools, hospital, prisons, courts and police and emergency

management infrastructure, which provides both safety nets for vulnerable community members and important

building blocks to the early years of the population. Also included in this category is expenditure associated with

recreation and visitor economy infrastructure.

Delivery of the first ever Pipeline last year has seen economic infrastructure owners generally deliver to schedule

with minor variations to bring forward some projects while planning for others has required extension to allow for

further consultation or additional planning. Some challenges have arisen in the social infrastructure sector with

weaker than expected tender results requiring some projects to be revisited, particularly in the education sector.

This year’s Pipeline maintains strong levels of expenditure for the coming financial year with little change from last

year. A large increase in expenditure of around 11 per cent is expected in the following financial year as water,

sewerage and stormwater ramps up with TasWater’s newly created Capital Delivery Office expected to accelerate

delivery. The roads program also significantly increases with the rollout of the suite of projects comprising the

Greater Hobart Traffic Solution and the landside and airside expenditure at the Hobart Airport.

This strength grows in the next financial year as the Bridgewater Bridge is forecast to commence in 2021-22 and

carry through to 2024.

We hope the Pipeline continues to provide visibility for industry in terms of what is soon to come on line and

provides a valuable tool for resource planning and decision making through its yearly updates.

1. What is included in the Tasmanian Infrastructure Project Pipeline?

The latest Tasmanian Infrastructure Project Pipeline provides a consolidated list of the key projects that are

underway or planned across all economic and social infrastructure sectors over the next 10 years.

Project proposals were sought from each of the organisations in Appendix A, aside from local government.

In seeking projects for inclusion in the Pipeline, Infrastructure Tasmania gave the following guidance to asset

owners as to which projects should be submitted.

The projects are to:

be of strategic importance to Tasmania (i.e. play an important role in meeting one of Tasmanian

Government’s key strategies)

be planned to occur within the next 10 years

be highly likely in that they are funded or partially funded

be significant in cost (indicatively greater than $5 million), or part of a program of projects that collectively

meet this threshold.

The planning horizon was purposefully chosen. Infrastructure Tasmania acknowledges that while many asset owners

have long-term asset management plans, their detailed capital planning usually does not extend longer than ten

years.

While few council projects individually meet the project threshold, the aggregate spend across the Local

Government sector is significant and has again been included. The Pipeline estimates $200 million is spent by

Councils on economic infrastructure including roads, bridges, stormwater, drainage and local airports. This includes

projects funded through the recent Federal Budget of $10 million for the Albert Hall, $5 million for the Burnie Arts

Centre and $15 million for a Launceston Community Hub.

Given that many private sector construction projects also draw on the same local consultants and contractors as

the infrastructure projects captured in the Pipeline, a list of those key projects has been included (Section 5). This

list cannot be comprehensive as private developer intentions are often commercial in confidence, but shows the

recent strength in the construction sector is being maintained. Following the content provided in last year’s

Pipeline, a list of public sector horizon projects, that are not yet certain, but which would represent significant

infrastructure undertakings have also been included (Section 6).

2. Expected Pipeline benefits

A number of projects that are in the Pipeline are already in the public domain as those project owners are required

to go through regulatory processes to approve expenditure, while some have long consultation and approvals

phases that provide visibility to the market some time before construction. However, for many of the projects, the

first public knowledge of them may otherwise be when design or procurement processes commence.

Initially the Pipeline was conceived to provide greater visibility to the market at an earlier stage, but there are

multiple benefits.

An earlier understanding of upcoming design and build requirements will allow better planning of workforce

needs to match future work and provides the ability for training organisations to appropriate programs to

meet demand (the Civil Construction Federation in partnership with Skills Tasmania has prepared a

workforce development plan on the back of the 2018 Pipeline).

The Pipeline will help identify if there are any likely constraints to delivery of priority projects in the short to

medium-term. For instance if there are overlapping timeframes for key projects which may be to the

detriment of timely or cost efficient delivery.

The Pipeline will provide private sector developers and investors with better information to inform decision

making around where they may locate or further develop.

The Pipeline will provide the opportunity for infrastructure providers to better understand each other’s

intended works and, if appropriate, coordinate effort in terms of scheduling overlapping geographic roll outs

or jointly planning contingent projects, which may ultimately lead to cost savings.

3. Infrastructure Pipeline projects

In proposing projects for the Pipeline, organisations were asked to provide:

the project name

project location

the project’s indicative value

the primary driver (for example; growth, renewal, regulatory compliance, improving level of service,

maintenance)

current stage of the project (for example; concept, business case, procurement, construction)

the financial year construction of the project is expected to be started and finished.

This format has allowed Infrastructure Tasmania to analyse the projects provided to establish themes, which

follows in Section 4.

Organisations were also asked to provide a total per annum capital expenditure, firstly to ensure that all the

projects smaller than $5 million were still captured and secondly to provide an aggregated yearly spend on all

economic and social infrastructure. This is also included in Section 4.

The table in Section 7 provides a listing of the 261 projects collected. The list is sorted in chronological order of

expected construction commencement and then by infrastructure class and value in descending order.

The Pipeline information will continue to be updated annually and will remain viewable on the State Growth

website at www.stategrowth.tas.gov.au/infrastructuretasmania

4. Analysis of Pipeline trends

Timing of spend by asset class

The forecast ten year expenditure for the 2019-20 to 2028-29 Pipeline period is $15.2 billion. As was evident in last

year’s Pipeline, there remains very strong planned levels of capital investment across most economic and social

infrastructure providers, with around a 1 per cent increase in expenditure forecast for 2019-20. However, the data

collected for the following year suggest in excess of a 10 per cent increase, as roads and rail, the water sectors and

expenditure at Hobart International Airport increase. This will push infrastructure expenditure over $1.7 billion for

2020-21, which is an increase of around $400 million from the 2016-17 historical data presented in last year’s

Pipeline.

As can be seen, the strength in the series continues until the expected end of construction of the new Bridgewater

Bridge in 2023-24, but the reduction in the aggregate capex forecast after this point should not be interpreted to

directly correlate with expected activity. For many organisations that contribute data to the Pipeline, their planning

horizons do not extend further than corporate planning processes (commonly four yearly), State Budget forward

estimates periods, the length of Federal funding agreements or regulated revenue determination processes.

4.1 Project driver analysis

This analysis on project drivers relates to the project level information rather than the aggregated capital

expenditure numbers (i.e. the projects outlined in Section 7 which are individually worth $5 million or more).

Around $9.3 billion in individual infrastructure projects were put forward for the ten years covered by the Pipeline.

By far the biggest primary driver of these projects are level of service upgrades ($3.7 billion), followed by growth

($2.4 billion), renewals ($1.5 billion) and regulatory compliance ($1.1 billion). It should be noted that asset owners

were asked to provide a primary driver, which can mask that there are often dual reasons for a project. For

example, projects generally have an element of renewals no matter what else they may be driven by.

The driver growth is playing in the Pipeline is of particular note. It is reflective, at least partially, of current

population growth that is very strong by historical levels and is evident in road projects to combat commuter

congestion, port and airport projects in support of visitor economy aims, educational projects to increase school

capacity, industrial growth and growth in justice and public safety services.

4.2 Infrastructure class analysis

Of the economic infrastructure sectors, the largest annual expenditure is in the roads and rail sector (which would

be even higher if council expenditure on roads and bridges was included), followed by the energy sector and then

the water sectors. An overview of key projects and issues in each infrastructure class is detailed below.

4.2.1 Roads

The annual spend on roads is significant by any measure, with over $300 million planned to be spent in 2019-20 and

once in a generation projects like the Bridgewater Bridge ($576 million) and significant programs, like the Roads of

Strategic Importance ($606 million), to be delivered over the ten year period of the Pipeline,

For 2018-19, the State Government will have expended nearly $280 million on roads and bridges.

In terms of projects identified last year for commencement in 2018-19, upgrades to the Midlands Highway

continued with the $92 million Perth Links section commencing ahead of its initial schedule, while the $5 million

Powranna Straight section was also brought forward. The past year also saw substantial completion of the Bass

Highway, Wynyard Bypass Intersection Safety Upgrades and sealing of the Highland Lakes Road. Stage 1of the $13

million sealing of the Hastings Cave Road, a key visitor economy driven upgrade, was completed and the first

upgrades under the $30 million Great Eastern Drive funding were also completed.

In the North, key projects initially planned for commencement in 2018-19, including expansion of the Charles

Street Bridge capacity and design work for a new Tamar bridge, have been pushed out to accommodate finalisation

of a detailed Launceston and Tamar Valley Traffic Vision and detailed business case development.

The $30 million Tasman Highway Airport Interchange in the south is a key project to commence construction in

2019-20, with a further $27 million of projects in the South East Traffic Solution also to commence. Projects to

realign the Channel Highway at Huonville ($8 million) and upgrades from Wynyard to Marrawah will commence in

2019-20 following further planning work.

Greater Hobart Traffic Solution projects totalling over $90 million are included in the Pipeline and are funded

partly by State and Federal Government commitments, including commitments under the Hobart City Deal. These

will commence with smaller expenditures in 2019-20, with a fifth lane on the Southern Outlet ($35 million) planned

for commencement of construction in 2020-21 a centrepiece to the Solution.

As noted in last year’s Pipeline, the spending by local councils on roads is significant. Of the approximately $200

million per annum spent by the local government sector on infrastructure, around 90 per cent is on local roads and

bridges. This investment is major contributor to regional economic activity.

4.2.2 Energy

An average of around $300 million per annum will be spent on electricity generation, transmission and distribution

in the State over the next ten years. While largely renewal and refurbishment projects, the future of the sector is

bright with these figures not including any prospective expenditure associated with Project Marinus (a second

electricity interconnector from Tasmania to Victoria), or the associated Battery of the Nation projects, which

combined have a value of around $6.5 billion. Feasibility work on these projects continues, with $10 million funding

from the Australian Renewal Energy Agency allowing TasNetworks to progress a business case for Marinus and

$56 million recently committed by the Federal Government to help progress the approvals phase of the Marinus

project.

Major projects in the sector completed over the past twelve months include the Repulse Power Station ($37m),

Devil’s Gate Power Station ($22m) refurbishments and network upgrades to support windfarm connections on the

West Coast and in the Central Highlands ($30m). In the coming twelve months, an upgrade to Murchison Dam

($9m) and a refurbishment Wilmot Power Station ($23m) should be completed, while a significant refurbishment of

Machine No. 1 at Catagunya Power Station ($21m) will commence.

The energy supply industry is one of the most established infrastructure sectors in Tasmania in terms of its asset

value and capital program delivery. The energy supply sector’s 10-year capital program is expected to undergo

transformation as projects such as the Battery of the Nation, major wind farm developments, Project Marinus and

associated transmission line development progress from concept plans to approval stages.

4.2.3 Water, Sewerage and Stormwater

At the time of writing last year, a Memorandum of Understanding had just been signed between the State

Government and TasWater that would see the Government take an equity position in the business and contribute

$20 million per annum to help accelerate TasWater’s capital program. This has seen TasWater’s ten year capital

program increase from around $150 million per annum last year to around $170 million per annum this year. The

Government has also committed additional funds to aid the relocation of the Macquarie Point wastewater

treatment plant and to fund investigations into a new sewerage system at Coles Bay.

To assist in delivery of the increased capital program, 2019-20 will see the first year of TasWater’s new Capital

Delivery Office model, where TasWater has partnered with two tier-one water contractors, which will allow it

access to greater technical and project management expertise. The CDO model is to be in place initially for a four

year period and also aims to build capacity that becomes embedded within TasWater.

Works at the Kingborough wastewater treatment plant have now seen the expanded plant commissioned, with

network upgrades to bring flows from Margate and Electrona still ongoing (total cost of $53 million). The King

Island water supply upgrade ($20m) is now also nearing the commissioning and handover phase and on track for

completion in 2019-20. A major upgrade to the Forth River water treatment plant ($37m) was scheduled for

commencement in 2018-19 but has been pushed back in this year’s Pipeline to 2019-20 after requiring further

stakeholder consultation. Other key projects scheduled to get under way in 2019-20 include the $206 million

upgrade to the Bryn Estyn water treatment plant and the Longford sewerage treatment plant upgrade ($25m).

The 2020-21 financial year will see the commencement of project works on the combined sewerage and

stormwater system in Launceston (total cost $85 million). These works have been funded by State and Federal

Governments under the Launceston City Deal, with detailed design and approvals expected to be the focus of

progress in 2019-20.

4.2.4 Airports

The recent announcement by Hobart International Airport of $200 million of landside upgrades by 2030 to double

the passenger carrying capacity of the airport is the major change from last year’s Pipeline. In addition, HIA is

forecasting another $91 million in airside upgrades over the coming five years.

4.2.5 Ports

Over the past year TasPorts has revised its approach to a project to support Hobart Port as an Antarctic Gateway.

Now a two-phased, $60 million program, it includes berth infrastructure for Australia’s new ice breaker the RSV

Nuyina and a second phase of landside facilities for Antarctic logistics operations. The first phase is planned for

2019-20.

The redevelopment of Devonport East port has also been re-scoped. The project is now expected to be $120

million and will be inclusive of terminals (which require additional dredging for a new port configuration) and

landside redevelopment within the operating terminals of TT-Line and SeaRoad. The three year project will also

commence in 2019-20 and will see Devonport East be able to accommodate the new larger TT Line vessels from

their commencement on Bass Strait.

4.2.6 Irrigation

In 2019-20 Tasmanian Irrigation (TI) will complete construction of the final project initiated under the tranche-2

scheme development program. That project, the Scottsdale Irrigation Scheme, will see a final $23 million expended

ahead of commissioning next summer. The tranche 2 schemes included a mix of Tasmanian Government ($50

million total contribution), Australian Government ($85.2 million total contribution) and additional private

investment through the sale of water entitlements. Tasmanian Irrigation also confirmed the impact of the first

tranche through a consultancy that surveyed irrigators in the Midlands, Whitemore and Sassafras/Wesley Vale

schemes. It found an increase in volumes and values of production, which led to greater on-farm expenditure

flowing through to employment in the local economy.

The success of the these schemes has been acknowledged with commitment of another $70 million from the State

Government and $100 million from the Federal Government for a third tranche of projects, titled Pipeline to

Prosperity. The first phase of these projects are already in feasibility and planning phase, with a business case

submitted to Infrastructure Australia with the aim of confirming the Federal funding.

4.2.7 Rail

In 2019-20 TasRail will commence the second tranche of its Tasmanian Freight Rail Revitalisation Program ($120

million), which will be expended on track upgrades to improve reliability and safety on the network. This follows a

very successful $120 million tranche 1, which was delivered on time and to budget. A third tranche totalling $68

million was committed by the Australian Government in its 2019-20 Federal Budget for the 2021-22 and 2022-23

years. This commitment was subsequently matched in the recent Tasmanian Budget, bringing the total Tranche 3

commitment to $136 million.

TasRail’s network also includes a mineral concentrates shiploading facility at Burnie Port. Funding of $40 million for

renewal of this important infrastructure was announced during the recent federal election. TasRail and TasPorts

are working together to assess the optimum siting, procurement and functionality requirements of the replacement

shiploader.

4.2.8 Communications

With the National Broadband Network rollout now practically complete in Tasmania, the telecommunications

spend is back to a more business as usual environment. TasNetworks has a program of around $4.7 million per

annum maintaining and improving its backbone network that supports electricity sector communications and some

private sector customers. The Project Marinus business case will also explore the merits of including further across

Bass Strait optic fibre capacity. A number of private telecommunications providers have upgraded their

infrastructure networks across the state improving overall coverage and access to services

4.2.9 Housing, Health, Education, Justice and Public Safety, Recreation and Visitor

Almost $1 billion in social infrastructure spending was announced in the 2019-20 State Budget. In the health sector,

upgrades to the St Helens District Hospital and new Kingston Health Centre were completed in the past year,

while an additional $63 million has been allocated to Royal Hobart Hospital ward upgrades.

The first stage of spending associated with the Affordable Housing Strategy was completed in 2018-19, with the

$125 million second stage (which leverages an addition $20 million from social housing providers) already brought

forward into 2018-19.

School spending continues largely as scheduled with the only variation a delay to Taroona High School’s upgrade,

which was impacted by construction industry capacity issues and this project will be completed in 2019-20.

Riverside High’s redevelopment also commenced in January 2019, with works at the new Penguin school also

scheduled to commence in 2019-20.

In the justice and public safety sector, key projects include planning for the new $270 million Northern prison,

while procurement for the new Southern Remand Prison and the Risdon Prison Shared Facilities Upgrade is

progressing as one suite of projects ($79 million in total) and should see commencement in 2019-20.

The new $22 million Cradle Mountain Visitor Experience, which includes a new visitor centre and retail precinct

commenced construction early in 2019. Construction should also commence in the coming financial year on a new

$10 million indoor multi-sports facility in southern Tasmania.

4.3 Regional spend analysis

The value of projects directly attributable to a single region are closely aligned with regional population shares

(South 50 per cent, North 28 per cent and North West 22 per cent). This would suggest that the split of

expenditure is well spread on a per capita basis, but as noted in the 2018 Pipeline, drawing trends based on location

should be done with caution. For example, in the case of energy generation, the physical location of the assets is

not necessarily reflective of where all economic activity arising from their use occurs.

5. Private sector interface with the Pipeline

Compilation of a comprehensive private sector-funded project pipeline is complicated by commercial

confidentialities, resulting in many projects becoming public only once development approval is sought.

However, the list below captures the publicly announced projects that are either in construction or which have

progressed to a stage where they are more likely than not to be delivered. These projects total around $5.1 billion

and are spread broadly across sectors like visitor economy, education, mining, manufacturing and property

development.

The Pipeline captures this current and planned activity as it will, in many cases, compete directly with Pipeline

projects for delivery resources. This is a particular issue for many of the State’s social infrastructure providers as

their projects draw heavily on the general construction sector.

Appendix B: Glossary

The Pipeline describes projects on an individual basis, but also use some common descriptors. The following

glossary relates to the drivers of projects and their stage of development.

Drivers

Growth Caters for increased demand and provides increased capacity.

Renewal Maintains existing infrastructure at same level of service.

Regulatory Compliance Addresses deficiencies where regulatory level of service not being met.

Level of Service Installation or upgrade that delivers increased level of service.

Maintenance Upkeep of infrastructure that does not extend the life of the asset.

Stage of Project

Concept Problem or opportunity identified, project scoped, high level costings done.

Business Case Detailed options analysis, recommended approach and proposed budget.

Design The articulation of construction specifications.

Procurement Contracting providers to undertake project.

Construction Building of the project.

Start/End Year

Substantive

construction

Refers to the labour and capital intensive phase of each project. Project scoping,

planning, consultation and design and any associated preliminary works may occur

before this phase, depending on the project.

34

Appendix C: Caveats

The Pipeline represents the best understanding of asset owners as to likely future infrastructure

investments in the State at this point in time.

While many of the projects sit within current asset management plans, have capital allocated and are almost

certain to be delivered, many others have uncertainty over scope, timing or require regulatory approvals.

In a number of cases project level information has been wrapped up to a program level. This occurs where

individual projects are not of sufficient scale to meet the capital threshold of $5 million, but there is a

number of the same project types (e.g. renewals or maintenance programs) that collectively do.

The data contained in the Pipeline is that of the proposing organisation. Any party planning to use this

information should contact that organisation to ensure they have the most up to date information.

In some cases, asset owners have provided a capital plan which does not cover ten years. Similarly, some

State agencies only have program visibility for the Budget and forward estimates period, or rely on Federal

funding agreements to be confirmed in the latter years.

Where data has not been provided for yearly aggregate capital spend by an organisation, a conservative

estimate has been made usually based on an average of recent years’ actuals. This has not necessitated any

change to project level information.
