MinterEllisonRuddWatts’ Building Together 2025 continued the vital conversation about how we can grow and thrive, both as a sector and as a country.

Building Together once again brought together politicians, construction and infrastructure leaders, and key industry participants. 

Embracing this year’s theme of “Enabling works”, we discussed what foundational actions the Government, public and private sectors can take to translate our nation’s social and economic aspirations into successful, efficient and lasting infrastructure delivery. 

We began by looking at what has enabled Australia’s recent track record of infrastructure delivery and the important role of private capital in unlocking development of social and economic infrastructure here. We heard of iwi ambition and desire to be an enabler of critical infrastructure development, the Government’s plans to enable the sector and considered the benefits of a bipartisan approach from an opposition perspective. We also canvassed the crucial role of our governance and operational leaders in driving progress and improving productivity. 

Common to all these topics is the enabling power of funding and people. Deploying both is crucial to creating stable conditions for sustained construction and infrastructure growth and central to the concept of “Enabling works”.
