At PwC, we see the key issues/drivers in public infrastructure development as being:
- Destination precincts that maximise the capture of the visitors
- Quality urban environments including accommodation and hospitality services
- Appropriate transport infrastructure and flexible accessibility
- Management of key stakeholders and community issues to increase local visitation
- Local industry support and sponsorship
- Government support to bid for and host major events
- Ensuring that maintenance provisions are set aside for facilities to ensure sustainability
- The need to consult with potential operators at an early stage to ensure that the design maximises business needs
- Leverage of government assets and complementary development to assist in financing facilities
- The appropriate use of government funding and risk allocation for the delivery and operation of supporting public infrastructure
