Outline

Infrastructure asset recycling9

Government Asset Recycling

• Australia’s Infrastructure funding deficit is around $700 billion

• Australia’s population is projected to rise from 23 million to 38 million by 2050, requiring significant upgrades in infrastructure

• Funding these projects represents a challenge; government revenue bases are shrinking and increased debt threatens credit metrics

• Governments to privatise up to ~$100bn of infrastructure

• Asset recycling facilitates larger scale deployment of capital than PPPs

Private Sector Asset Recycling

• Australia has reached the peak of an expansionary investment cycle in the resources and energy sectors

• The emphasis is now on ‘sweating the assets’ in order to optimise the investment

• Private enterprise may be holding non-core assets on balance sheet

• Australia is expected to become the largest LNG exporter by 2022, and selling infrastructure is a feasible strategy for releasing capital

• The LNG sector holds approximately $60bn of potentially divestible infrastructure to fund future opportunities

The energy sector has reached the peak of its expansionary cycle while state governments are under pressure to repair balance sheets. A period of significant asset recycling in both public and private sectors is on the horizon

It’s more than capital recycling…13

The impact of public infrastructure on productivity and economic growth

• Investing in the right infrastructure could give Australia a once in a generation opportunity to transition our economy away from such an overwhelming resources focus, with the attendant boom and bust cycle

• Roads, rails, ports, airports, utility networks and social infrastructure are not just the backbone of the nation, they are also the growth engines of our future

The imperative to recycle capital cannot be ignored

• The Federal Government’s Asset Recycling Initiative is critical

• State budgets and balance sheets remain under pressure and the need for new infrastructure has never been greater

• Australia’s infrastructure funding deficit is estimated to be $700bn1

• $5bn in incentive payments to States and Territories who sell or lease assets and reinvest the proceeds in new infrastructure (Asset Recycling Initiative)

Natural owners of infrastructure assets

• Public capital should be allocated based on long-term benefit and recycled as soon as the business cycle allows private capital inflow

• Assets are managed more efficiently by private operators working alone or in alliance with the Government

Impact of technology on delivery and management of infrastructure

• Infrastructure planning cannot occur in isolation, the incorporation of potentially disruptive digital technologies in our planning is crucial

• Technology has the potential to:₋ increase efficiency;₋ increase asset utilisation;₋ reduce operating costs; and₋ impact the overall cost of types of public

infrastructure required over the full lifecycle

ACCC chairman Rod Sims has stated “the only good reason for government ownership is if there is a particular social objective in mind” noting “when the private sector own assets, that does provide better incentives for better performance”

Consistent policy is imperative14

long-term planning and reform of governance processes for infrastructure has been missing in public policyfor considerable time

The consequences of ‘short sightedness’ have yielded low productivity and high costs

Critical need to minimise delay, indecision and uncertainty between project announcement and start-up.Delays erode return on investment and discourage private sector appetite for risk

THE BRUTAL POLITICS OF PRIVITISATION

STARK AFTER QUEENSLAND ELECTION

SHOCK

The sudden and brutal change of governments in Queensland and

Victoria adds an element of uncertainty to infrastructure projects. In the

case of Queensland, it means $37 billion of transactions have

automatically been taken off the table. It will be a big blow for

investment banks, super funds and companies that anticipated being part

of the sales.

4 Feb 2015

QUEENSLAND ELECTION 2015: LNP DUMPS

ASSET SALES POLICY

The Queensland Liberal National Party has ditched its $37 billion

privatisation plan as part of a last minute attempt to form a minority

government… “They are all in grave doubt. That’s a tragedy for the

international investment community, but that’s a situation Queensland

is in”

The Need For Consistent Policy

• The $37bn in capital set aside by investors for the QLD electricity asset sales will now be reallocated

• Greater competition for NSW T&D assets

• The risk of state governments taking transactions off the table for political reasons will be factored into the price when bidders value infrastructure assets going forward

• In order to get the best price for assets, governments need to implement a consistent policy and reduce political risk for bidders

The cancellation of the East West Link increases the price of risk associated with business in Australia

FEDERAL BUDGET 2015: DANIEL ANDREWS

REFUSES TO PAY BACK EAST WEST MONEY

Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has refused to give into demands to

refund $1.5 billion of federal government funding slated for the

cancelled East West Link toll road.

VICTORIA TO PAY $339M TO SETTLE EAST

WEST CLAIM

Major developer Lend Lease has walked away from a long-running

brawl over compensation for the scrapping of one of the nation's

largest road projects, under a $339 million deal which opens the way

for the property giant to win future billion-dollar contracts.

EAST WEST CONTRACTORS CALL FOR long-

term PLANNING AFTER SETTLEMENT

While contractors believe that an agreement allowing reimbursement

of the money invested by a consortium of Lend Lease, France's

Bouygues and Spain's Acciona for the costs of bidding for East West

Link and designing plans to build it is fair, they now regard Australia

as a more risky place to do business.

Social benefits of long-term smart asset management 19

Employment growthBusiness expansion around new infrastructure results in significant job creation. Governments should not attempt to hold onto assets with the aim to protect employment

Productivity growthRoads, rail, ports, airports, utility networks and social infrastructure are the backbone of the nation and growth engine for the future. The World Bank estimates that every 10% increase in infrastructure provision increases output by ~1% over the long-term

Efficiency gains

Private sector owned assets provide better incentives for better performance. A University of Melbourne study notes that PPP contracted projects were able to deliver the construction phase of an asset with a delay of 1.4% of agreed time, versus traditionally procured projects which had delays of 26% of the agreed time

Cost savingsIn private hands, costs of operating infrastructure assets decline and projects are delivered more efficiently. Dealing equitably with the affordability of infrastructure services is an important consideration, as a matter of social policy

“If we get our infrastructure right, we will protect Australia’s quality of life at a time of population growth and global economic change” Infrastructure Australia

Optimal capital allocation

Efficient funding of infrastructure is focused on the allocation of project and systematic risks to those parties best able to manage them, both across the public and private sectors

Case study: Port of Miami Tunnel21

The Port Miami Tunnel (POMT) was the first major project

built through a public-private partnership (PPP) undertaken

in Miami

Transfield Services was part of the successful design,

construct, operate and maintain consortium with Babcock &

Brown and Bouygues Travaux Publics

The Port Miami Tunnel opened on 3 August 2014

Up to 22,000 vehicles using the tunnel in one day

Transfield Services has safely managed 243 traffic events,

with crews arriving on scene in an average of 6.5 minutes,

restoring traffic flow within 17 mins

Publicly recognised by the US Department of Transportation

Port of Miami Tunnel

The Port of Miami Tunnel showcases best-practice road infrastructure operation and maintenance systems and processes in the United States

Closing remarks22

Now is the time to work on infrastructure

Australia has a funding gap with budget deficits at the federal and state level

Asset recycling across the public and private sectors can provide funding for new infrastructure projects

Consistent policy is imperative to attract investment

Effective capital management will drive productivity, efficiency and economic gains
