The Infrastructure Sustainability Council welcomes the Budget's first steps but calls for investment and action in infrastructure to reach net zero.
The Federal Government’s Budget recognition of infrastructure as a great enabler of social, economic and environmental benefits has been welcomed by Infrastructure Sustainability Council CEO Ainsley Simpson.
“This Budget represents a sensible first step in addressing climate change, but with only seven years to 2030 and the need to reduce our emissions by at least 43%, it's time to make every dollar count,” Ainsley Simpson said.

With over $570billion worth of infrastructure in operation, the sustainable management and maintenance of each asset are critical as we strive towards net zero by 2050. The IS Operations rating helps practitioners assess how operating assets, networks or portfolios of infrastructure assets are performing. It also helps identify economic, social and environmental opportunities and benefits efficiently, and continues to improve the way assets are operated.
