DIY infrastructure – why wait for Government?

This paper calls for customer-led infrastructure and specifically identifies examples of the 'DIY protagonist - those individuals, businesses and communities who have identified a need for specific infrastructure and have made it happen.

The role infrastructure plays in ensuring the wellbeing of Australian communities is well recognised and NAB is committed to raising the level of dialogue, and challenging some of the accepted norms with a view to creating greater and richer outcomes.

Partnering with the John Grill Centre’s Better Infrastructure Initiative (BII) is part of this commitment and we’re pleased to share the BII’s third policy outlook paper, ‘Why wait for Government?:  Customer-led DIY infrastructure, Australia’s No.1 Priority’.

This paper continues the journey of the call for customer-led infrastructure and specifically identifies examples of the ‘DIY protagonist, that is, those individuals, businesses and communities who have identified a need for specific infrastructure and have made it happen.

We hope you enjoy the paper.
