Infrastructure
Investing in infrastructure that supports environmental, economic and social well-being and boosts Australia’s resilience into the future.
Infrastructure forms the foundation of any modern nation.
ATSE’s Infrastructure Forum seeks out innovative infrastructure strategies to support Australia’s productivity, population and industry.
Effective infrastructure can also connect rural and urban environments to achieve better outcomes for all. ATSE’s Infrastructure Forum advocates for investment in infrastructure that boosts Australia’s competitiveness, social well-being and environmental sustainability towards a resilient future.
The Forum is currently undertaking projects related to decarbonisation, STEM skills shortages and research translation.

Submission to the Inquiry into Residential Electrification
Residential electrification is an essential part of Australia’s strategy to achieve net zero emissions by 2050 if not sooner. Electrification will not only reduce carbon emissions as the power grid moves to renewable energy but will also provide economic benefits as jobs are created in the re-fit houses and apartments.
