Minister’s message
The Hodgman majority Liberal Government’s ambitious jobs and growth
targets for Tasmania require a commitment to provide the infrastructure that
supports economic opportunity and enhanced productivity.
As Minister for State Growth and Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, I
am pleased that Tasmania’s program of works captured in this document
reflects a growing economy and a positive future for all parts of our State.
Strategic investment in our public infrastructure – including our roads, bridges,
ports, airports, rail lines and ferries – enables our businesses to invest and
grow jobs. We must also invest in our essential service and community
infrastructure, such as our schools, hospitals, public housing, prisons, courts
and sporting and cultural facilities.
Our economy remains one of the fastest growing in Australia. Tourism is
booming, our construction industry continues to lead the country and business confidence remains at nation-
leading levels. Our 2019-20 Budget included a record $3.6 billion investment into intergenerational infrastructure
supporting future growth, investment attraction and job creation. I particularly acknowledge the investment in our
program by the Morrison Federal Government. This exceptional partnership is creating jobs in Tasmania and
leading to significant economic and community outcomes.
This second annual Tasmanian Infrastructure Project Pipeline demonstrates continued very strong levels of
investment, with a spend of almost $1.6 billion expected in 2019-20, up on the prior period.
An additional $300 million investment is planned for roads and bridges in the coming year. This follows the almost
$290 million expended last year. Among the significant projects is the $30 million Tasman Highway Airport
Interchange, which is due to commence construction in early 2020, and the suite of projects comprising the
Greater Hobart Traffic Solution. The $120 million redevelopment of Devonport East port is expected to begin this
year, along with the second tranche of investment under TasRail’s Freight Rail Revitalisation Program.
More than $1 billion in social infrastructure spending was announced in the 2019-20 State Budget, including an
additional $63 million for Royal Hobart Hospital upgrades, the commencement of the new Penguin School,
procurement of the Southern Remand Centre and Risdon Prison Shared Facilities Upgrade and a new $10 million
indoor multi-sports facility in southern Tasmania.
The response from the civil construction sector to Tasmania’s growing infrastructure demand was very positive
following the release of the initial Pipeline. The Industry Roundtables that followed the release of the Pipeline
resulted in a compact between industry and the State Government to work together on the development of a
workforce development plan to deliver our record forward program of infrastructure projects. This work has
driven a culture of engagement in training and workforce planning in the sector to not only meet existing challenges
but to be prepared for the new skills and technological advancements required for the future.
The Hodgman majority Liberal Government’s second Infrastructure Project Pipeline tells a positive story of growth
that will ensure future generations benefit from infrastructure investments made today.

CEO’s message
Infrastructure Tasmania is pleased to be able to present the second Tasmanian
Infrastructure Project Pipeline. It covers the range of Government-provided
infrastructure, along with some helpful additions. We anticipate the aggregated
project information contained in the Pipeline will again assist industry
participants with their decision making and resourcing.
Infrastructure investment is a key facilitator of economic activity. Not only
does it create jobs directly, it is the fabric that allows our economy to function,
ensuring people are able to travel where they need to for work and recreation
and that the essential services we rely on in our everyday life are available and
in working order.
Our Pipeline covers both economic and social infrastructure. Economic infrastructure includes roads, rail, energy,
water and sewerage, irrigation, stormwater, ports, airports and communications and is a key focus of the Pipeline.
Social infrastructure includes public housing, schools, hospital, prisons, courts and police and emergency
management infrastructure, which provides both safety nets for vulnerable community members and important
building blocks to the early years of the population. Also included in this category is expenditure associated with
recreation and visitor economy infrastructure.
Delivery of the first ever Pipeline last year has seen economic infrastructure owners generally deliver to schedule
with minor variations to bring forward some projects while planning for others has required extension to allow for
further consultation or additional planning. Some challenges have arisen in the social infrastructure sector with
weaker than expected tender results requiring some projects to be revisited, particularly in the education sector.
This year’s Pipeline maintains strong levels of expenditure for the coming financial year with little change from last
year. A large increase in expenditure of around 11 per cent is expected in the following financial year as water,
sewerage and stormwater ramps up with TasWater’s newly created Capital Delivery Office expected to accelerate
delivery. The roads program also significantly increases with the rollout of the suite of projects comprising the
Greater Hobart Traffic Solution and the landside and airside expenditure at the Hobart Airport.
This strength grows in the next financial year as the Bridgewater Bridge is forecast to commence in 2021-22 and
carry through to 2024.
We hope the Pipeline continues to provide visibility for industry in terms of what is soon to come on line and
provides a valuable tool for resource planning and decision making through its yearly updates.

1. What is included in the Tasmanian Infrastructure Project Pipeline?
The latest Tasmanian Infrastructure Project Pipeline provides a consolidated list of the key projects that are
underway or planned across all economic and social infrastructure sectors over the next 10 years.
Project proposals were sought from each of the organisations in Appendix A, aside from local government.
In seeking projects for inclusion in the Pipeline, Infrastructure Tasmania gave the following guidance to asset
owners as to which projects should be submitted.
The projects are to:
be of strategic importance to Tasmania (i.e. play an important role in meeting one of Tasmanian
Government’s key strategies)
be planned to occur within the next 10 years
be highly likely in that they are funded or partially funded
be significant in cost (indicatively greater than $5 million), or part of a program of projects that collectively
meet this threshold.
The planning horizon was purposefully chosen. Infrastructure Tasmania acknowledges that while many asset owners
have long-term asset management plans, their detailed capital planning usually does not extend longer than ten
years.
While few council projects individually meet the project threshold, the aggregate spend across the Local
Government sector is significant and has again been included. The Pipeline estimates $200 million is spent by
Councils on economic infrastructure including roads, bridges, stormwater, drainage and local airports. This includes
projects funded through the recent Federal Budget of $10 million for the Albert Hall, $5 million for the Burnie Arts
Centre and $15 million for a Launceston Community Hub.
Given that many private sector construction projects also draw on the same local consultants and contractors as
the infrastructure projects captured in the Pipeline, a list of those key projects has been included (Section 5). This
list cannot be comprehensive as private developer intentions are often commercial in confidence, but shows the
recent strength in the construction sector is being maintained. Following the content provided in last year’s
Pipeline, a list of public sector horizon projects, that are not yet certain, but which would represent significant
infrastructure undertakings have also been included (Section 6).
2
2. Expected Pipeline benefits
A number of projects that are in the Pipeline are already in the public domain as those project owners are required
to go through regulatory processes to approve expenditure, while some have long consultation and approvals
phases that provide visibility to the market some time before construction. However, for many of the projects, the
first public knowledge of them may otherwise be when design or procurement processes commence.
Initially the Pipeline was conceived to provide greater visibility to the market at an earlier stage, but there are
multiple benefits.
An earlier understanding of upcoming design and build requirements will allow better planning of workforce
needs to match future work and provides the ability for training organisations to appropriate programs to
meet demand (the Civil Construction Federation in partnership with Skills Tasmania has prepared a
workforce development plan on the back of the 2018 Pipeline).
The Pipeline will help identify if there are any likely constraints to delivery of priority projects in the short to
medium-term. For instance if there are overlapping timeframes for key projects which may be to the
detriment of timely or cost efficient delivery.
The Pipeline will provide private sector developers and investors with better information to inform decision
making around where they may locate or further develop.
The Pipeline will provide the opportunity for infrastructure providers to better understand each other’s
intended works and, if appropriate, coordinate effort in terms of scheduling overlapping geographic roll outs
or jointly planning contingent projects, which may ultimately lead to cost savings.

3. Infrastructure Pipeline projects
In proposing projects for the Pipeline, organisations were asked to provide:
the project name
project location
the project’s indicative value
the primary driver (for example; growth, renewal, regulatory compliance, improving level of service,
maintenance)
current stage of the project (for example; concept, business case, procurement, construction)
the financial year construction of the project is expected to be started and finished.
This format has allowed Infrastructure Tasmania to analyse the projects provided to establish themes, which
follows in Section 4.
Organisations were also asked to provide a total per annum capital expenditure, firstly to ensure that all the
projects smaller than $5 million were still captured and secondly to provide an aggregated yearly spend on all
economic and social infrastructure. This is also included in Section 4.
The table in Section 7 provides a listing of the 261 projects collected. The list is sorted in chronological order of
expected construction commencement and then by infrastructure class and value in descending order.
The Pipeline information will continue to be updated annually and will remain viewable on the State Growth
website at www.stategrowth.tas.gov.au/infrastructuretasmania

4. Analysis of Pipeline trends
Timing of spend by asset class
The forecast ten year expenditure for the 2019-20 to 2028-29 Pipeline period is $15.2 billion. As was evident in last
year’s Pipeline, there remains very strong planned levels of capital investment across most economic and social
infrastructure providers, with around a 1 per cent increase in expenditure forecast for 2019-20. However, the data
collected for the following year suggest in excess of a 10 per cent increase, as roads and rail, the water sectors and
expenditure at Hobart International Airport increase. This will push infrastructure expenditure over $1.7 billion for
2020-21, which is an increase of around $400 million from the 2016-17 historical data presented in last year’s
Pipeline.
As can be seen, the strength in the series continues until the expected end of construction of the new Bridgewater
Bridge in 2023-24, but the reduction in the aggregate capex forecast after this point should not be interpreted to
directly correlate with expected activity. For many organisations that contribute data to the Pipeline, their planning
horizons do not extend further than corporate planning processes (commonly four yearly), State Budget forward
estimates periods, the length of Federal funding agreements or regulated revenue determination processes.

4.1 Project driver analysis
This analysis on project drivers relates to the project level information rather than the aggregated capital
expenditure numbers (i.e. the projects outlined in Section 7 which are individually worth $5 million or more).
Around $9.3 billion in individual infrastructure projects were put forward for the ten years covered by the Pipeline.
By far the biggest primary driver of these projects are level of service upgrades ($3.7 billion), followed by growth
($2.4 billion), renewals ($1.5 billion) and regulatory compliance ($1.1 billion). It should be noted that asset owners
were asked to provide a primary driver, which can mask that there are often dual reasons for a project. For
example, projects generally have an element of renewals no matter what else they may be driven by.
The driver growth is playing in the Pipeline is of particular note. It is reflective, at least partially, of current
population growth that is very strong by historical levels and is evident in road projects to combat commuter
congestion, port and airport projects in support of visitor economy aims, educational projects to increase school
capacity, industrial growth and growth in justice and public safety services.

4.2 Infrastructure class analysis
Of the economic infrastructure sectors, the largest annual expenditure is in the roads and rail sector (which would
be even higher if council expenditure on roads and bridges was included), followed by the energy sector and then
the water sectors. An overview of key projects and issues in each infrastructure class is detailed below.
4.2.1 Roads
The annual spend on roads is significant by any measure, with over $300 million planned to be spent in 2019-20 and
once in a generation projects like the Bridgewater Bridge ($576 million) and significant programs, like the Roads of
Strategic Importance ($606 million), to be delivered over the ten year period of the Pipeline,
For 2018-19, the State Government will have expended nearly $280 million on roads and bridges.
In terms of projects identified last year for commencement in 2018-19, upgrades to the Midlands Highway
continued with the $92 million Perth Links section commencing ahead of its initial schedule, while the $5 million
Powranna Straight section was also brought forward. The past year also saw substantial completion of the Bass
Highway, Wynyard Bypass Intersection Safety Upgrades and sealing of the Highland Lakes Road. Stage 1of the $13
million sealing of the Hastings Cave Road, a key visitor economy driven upgrade, was completed and the first
upgrades under the $30 million Great Eastern Drive funding were also completed.
In the North, key projects initially planned for commencement in 2018-19, including expansion of the Charles
Street Bridge capacity and design work for a new Tamar bridge, have been pushed out to accommodate finalisation
of a detailed Launceston and Tamar Valley Traffic Vision and detailed business case development.
The $30 million Tasman Highway Airport Interchange in the south is a key project to commence construction in
2019-20, with a further $27 million of projects in the South East Traffic Solution also to commence. Projects to
realign the Channel Highway at Huonville ($8 million) and upgrades from Wynyard to Marrawah will commence in
2019-20 following further planning work.

Greater Hobart Traffic Solution projects totalling over $90 million are included in the Pipeline and are funded
partly by State and Federal Government commitments, including commitments under the Hobart City Deal. These
will commence with smaller expenditures in 2019-20, with a fifth lane on the Southern Outlet ($35 million) planned
for commencement of construction in 2020-21 a centrepiece to the Solution.
As noted in last year’s Pipeline, the spending by local councils on roads is significant. Of the approximately $200
million per annum spent by the local government sector on infrastructure, around 90 per cent is on local roads and
bridges. This investment is major contributor to regional economic activity.
4.2.2 Energy
An average of around $300 million per annum will be spent on electricity generation, transmission and distribution
in the State over the next ten years. While largely renewal and refurbishment projects, the future of the sector is
bright with these figures not including any prospective expenditure associated with Project Marinus (a second
electricity interconnector from Tasmania to Victoria), or the associated Battery of the Nation projects, which
combined have a value of around $6.5 billion. Feasibility work on these projects continues, with $10 million funding
from the Australian Renewal Energy Agency allowing TasNetworks to progress a business case for Marinus and
$56 million recently committed by the Federal Government to help progress the approvals phase of the Marinus
project.
Major projects in the sector completed over the past twelve months include the Repulse Power Station ($37m),
Devil’s Gate Power Station ($22m) refurbishments and network upgrades to support windfarm connections on the
West Coast and in the Central Highlands ($30m). In the coming twelve months, an upgrade to Murchison Dam
($9m) and a refurbishment Wilmot Power Station ($23m) should be completed, while a significant refurbishment of
Machine No. 1 at Catagunya Power Station ($21m) will commence.
The energy supply industry is one of the most established infrastructure sectors in Tasmania in terms of its asset
value and capital program delivery. The energy supply sector’s 10-year capital program is expected to undergo
transformation as projects such as the Battery of the Nation, major wind farm developments, Project Marinus and
associated transmission line development progress from concept plans to approval stages.

4.2.3 Water, Sewerage and Stormwater
At the time of writing last year, a Memorandum of Understanding had just been signed between the State
Government and TasWater that would see the Government take an equity position in the business and contribute
$20 million per annum to help accelerate TasWater’s capital program. This has seen TasWater’s ten year capital
program increase from around $150 million per annum last year to around $170 million per annum this year. The
Government has also committed additional funds to aid the relocation of the Macquarie Point wastewater
treatment plant and to fund investigations into a new sewerage system at Coles Bay.
To assist in delivery of the increased capital program, 2019-20 will see the first year of TasWater’s new Capital
Delivery Office model, where TasWater has partnered with two tier-one water contractors, which will allow it
access to greater technical and project management expertise. The CDO model is to be in place initially for a four
year period and also aims to build capacity that becomes embedded within TasWater.
Works at the Kingborough wastewater treatment plant have now seen the expanded plant commissioned, with
network upgrades to bring flows from Margate and Electrona still ongoing (total cost of $53 million). The King
Island water supply upgrade ($20m) is now also nearing the commissioning and handover phase and on track for
completion in 2019-20. A major upgrade to the Forth River water treatment plant ($37m) was scheduled for
commencement in 2018-19 but has been pushed back in this year’s Pipeline to 2019-20 after requiring further
stakeholder consultation. Other key projects scheduled to get under way in 2019-20 include the $206 million
upgrade to the Bryn Estyn water treatment plant and the Longford sewerage treatment plant upgrade ($25m).
The 2020-21 financial year will see the commencement of project works on the combined sewerage and
stormwater system in Launceston (total cost $85 million). These works have been funded by State and Federal
Governments under the Launceston City Deal, with detailed design and approvals expected to be the focus of
progress in 2019-20.
4.2.4 Airports
The recent announcement by Hobart International Airport of $200 million of landside upgrades by 2030 to double
the passenger carrying capacity of the airport is the major change from last year’s Pipeline. In addition, HIA is
forecasting another $91 million in airside upgrades over the coming five years.
9
4.2.5 Ports
Over the past year TasPorts has revised its approach to a project to support Hobart Port as an Antarctic Gateway.
Now a two-phased, $60 million program, it includes berth infrastructure for Australia’s new ice breaker the RSV
Nuyina and a second phase of landside facilities for Antarctic logistics operations. The first phase is planned for
2019-20.
The redevelopment of Devonport East port has also been re-scoped. The project is now expected to be $120
million and will be inclusive of terminals (which require additional dredging for a new port configuration) and
landside redevelopment within the operating terminals of TT-Line and SeaRoad. The three year project will also
commence in 2019-20 and will see Devonport East be able to accommodate the new larger TT Line vessels from
their commencement on Bass Strait.
4.2.6 Irrigation
In 2019-20 Tasmanian Irrigation (TI) will complete construction of the final project initiated under the tranche-2
scheme development program. That project, the Scottsdale Irrigation Scheme, will see a final $23 million expended
ahead of commissioning next summer. The tranche 2 schemes included a mix of Tasmanian Government ($50
million total contribution), Australian Government ($85.2 million total contribution) and additional private
investment through the sale of water entitlements. Tasmanian Irrigation also confirmed the impact of the first
tranche through a consultancy that surveyed irrigators in the Midlands, Whitemore and Sassafras/Wesley Vale
schemes. It found an increase in volumes and values of production, which led to greater on-farm expenditure
flowing through to employment in the local economy.
The success of the these schemes has been acknowledged with commitment of another $70 million from the State
Government and $100 million from the Federal Government for a third tranche of projects, titled Pipeline to
Prosperity. The first phase of these projects are already in feasibility and planning phase, with a business case
submitted to Infrastructure Australia with the aim of confirming the Federal funding.
4.2.7 Rail
In 2019-20 TasRail will commence the second tranche of its Tasmanian Freight Rail Revitalisation Program ($120
million), which will be expended on track upgrades to improve reliability and safety on the network. This follows a
very successful $120 million tranche 1, which was delivered on time and to budget. A third tranche totalling $68
million was committed by the Australian Government in its 2019-20 Federal Budget for the 2021-22 and 2022-23
years. This commitment was subsequently matched in the recent Tasmanian Budget, bringing the total Tranche 3
commitment to $136 million.
TasRail’s network also includes a mineral concentrates shiploading facility at Burnie Port. Funding of $40 million for
renewal of this important infrastructure was announced during the recent federal election. TasRail and TasPorts
are working together to assess the optimum siting, procurement and functionality requirements of the replacement
shiploader.
4.2.8 Communications
With the National Broadband Network rollout now practically complete in Tasmania, the telecommunications
spend is back to a more business as usual environment. TasNetworks has a program of around $4.7 million per
annum maintaining and improving its backbone network that supports electricity sector communications and some
private sector customers. The Project Marinus business case will also explore the merits of including further across
Bass Strait optic fibre capacity. A number of private telecommunications providers have upgraded their
infrastructure networks across the state improving overall coverage and access to services
10
4.2.9 Housing, Health, Education, Justice and Public Safety, Recreation and Visitor
Almost $1 billion in social infrastructure spending was announced in the 2019-20 State Budget. In the health sector,
upgrades to the St Helens District Hospital and new Kingston Health Centre were completed in the past year,
while an additional $63 million has been allocated to Royal Hobart Hospital ward upgrades.
The first stage of spending associated with the Affordable Housing Strategy was completed in 2018-19, with the
$125 million second stage (which leverages an addition $20 million from social housing providers) already brought
forward into 2018-19.
School spending continues largely as scheduled with the only variation a delay to Taroona High School’s upgrade,
which was impacted by construction industry capacity issues and this project will be completed in 2019-20.
Riverside High’s redevelopment also commenced in January 2019, with works at the new Penguin school also
scheduled to commence in 2019-20.
In the justice and public safety sector, key projects include planning for the new $270 million Northern prison,
while procurement for the new Southern Remand Prison and the Risdon Prison Shared Facilities Upgrade is
progressing as one suite of projects ($79 million in total) and should see commencement in 2019-20.
The new $22 million Cradle Mountain Visitor Experience, which includes a new visitor centre and retail precinct
commenced construction early in 2019. Construction should also commence in the coming financial year on a new
$10 million indoor multi-sports facility in southern Tasmania.
4.3 Regional spend analysis
The value of projects directly attributable to a single region are closely aligned with regional population shares
(South 50 per cent, North 28 per cent and North West 22 per cent). This would suggest that the split of
expenditure is well spread on a per capita basis, but as noted in the 2018 Pipeline, drawing trends based on location
should be done with caution. For example, in the case of energy generation, the physical location of the assets is
not necessarily reflective of where all economic activity arising from their use occurs.
11
5. Private sector interface with the Pipeline
Compilation of a comprehensive private sector-funded project pipeline is complicated by commercial
confidentialities, resulting in many projects becoming public only once development approval is sought.
However, the list below captures the publicly announced projects that are either in construction or which have
progressed to a stage where they are more likely than not to be delivered. These projects total around $5.1 billion
and are spread broadly across sectors like visitor economy, education, mining, manufacturing and property
development.
The Pipeline captures this current and planned activity as it will, in many cases, compete directly with Pipeline
projects for delivery resources. This is a particular issue for many of the State’s social infrastructure providers as
their projects draw heavily on the general construction sector.

6. Government sector horizon projects
There are a number of projects that are yet to progress from feasibility stage but which the Government is
committed to seeing delivered. These projects are important not only due to their size and the resources they
would consume in delivery, but each would have significant local economic benefits.

Appendix A: Economic infrastructure asset owners in Tasmania
33
Appendix B: Glossary
The Pipeline describes projects on an individual basis, but also use some common descriptors. The following
glossary relates to the drivers of projects and their stage of development.
Drivers
Growth Caters for increased demand and provides increased capacity.
Renewal Maintains existing infrastructure at same level of service.
Regulatory Compliance Addresses deficiencies where regulatory level of service not being met.
Level of Service Installation or upgrade that delivers increased level of service.
Maintenance Upkeep of infrastructure that does not extend the life of the asset.
Stage of Project
Concept Problem or opportunity identified, project scoped, high level costings done.
Business Case Detailed options analysis, recommended approach and proposed budget.
Design The articulation of construction specifications.
Procurement Contracting providers to undertake project.
Construction Building of the project.
Start/End Year
Substantive
construction
Refers to the labour and capital intensive phase of each project. Project scoping,
planning, consultation and design and any associated preliminary works may occur
before this phase, depending on the project.
34
Appendix C: Caveats
The Pipeline represents the best understanding of asset owners as to likely future infrastructure
investments in the State at this point in time.
While many of the projects sit within current asset management plans, have capital allocated and are almost
certain to be delivered, many others have uncertainty over scope, timing or require regulatory approvals.
In a number of cases project level information has been wrapped up to a program level. This occurs where
individual projects are not of sufficient scale to meet the capital threshold of $5 million, but there is a
number of the same project types (e.g. renewals or maintenance programs) that collectively do.
The data contained in the Pipeline is that of the proposing organisation. Any party planning to use this
information should contact that organisation to ensure they have the most up to date information.
In some cases, asset owners have provided a capital plan which does not cover ten years. Similarly, some
State agencies only have program visibility for the Budget and forward estimates period, or rely on Federal
funding agreements to be confirmed in the latter years.
Where data has not been provided for yearly aggregate capital spend by an organisation, a conservative
estimate has been made usually based on an average of recent years’ actuals. This has not necessitated any
change to project level information.
