A message from IPA s Chief Executive Brendan Lyon I am delighted to advise that we have now added sophisticated and dynamic graphing functions for the Australian & New Zealand Infrastructure Pipeline, providing new transparency about major greenfield and brownfield infrastructure opportunities across the Australian and New Zealand infrastructure markets. These new graphs show the volume and value of transactions, by pipeline status and also, by jurisdiction and by sector. The graphing function is dynamic allowing you and your colleagues to filter by jurisdiction, by status and by sector with the underlying data continually updated as projects move status, or as new opportunities enter the market. Graph the Pipeline by project status HERE Graph the Pipeline by jurisdiction HERE Read our status definitions HERE Analysis: Figure 1, below, shows the current state of greenfield projects by pipeline status which is dominated by NSW and Victorian greenfield major projects and solid activity levels in New Zealand. Unusually, this graph also shows the Commonwealth with several major projects of its own reflecting our view that the Inland Rail freight corridor and Western Sydney Airport projects will be announced in the Budget next week in some form. Figure 1 also reflects the comparatively (very) low volume of credibly proposed major projects in the Queensland and WA markets reflecting the fiscal realities of those jurisdictions. Figure 1: The greenfield pipeline by project status
Page 2 of 5 Figure 2, below, graphs our current analysis of Australia s brownfield pipeline showing subdued activity levels as the NSW electricity, land titles and WestConnex sell down move through the pipeline and with the Queensland and WA electricity and port transactions no longer credibly proposed in the short term, following changes of government in those jurisdictions. Figure 2: The brownfield pipeline by transaction status Figure 3, below, shows Australia's greenfield pipeline by jurisdiction filtered to exclude the earliest prospective transactions that are not expected in the near term and also, those that are under procurement or recently closed. In this way, Figure 3 shows the volume and value of transactions that are very likely, or certain to enter the market in the near term. Figure 3 again shows the heavy dominance by NSW and Victoria and the healthy pipeline in New Zealand; and also shows the sectoral spread again with a heavy weighting toward road and rail projects in most jurisdictions. Figure 3: The greenfield pipeline by jurisdiction credibly proposed to announced
Page 3 of 5 These charts are fully dynamic with the underlying data updated continually. We have developed these tools to provide you and others across the infrastructure market with additional transparency of the transactions that underpin the Australian and New Zealand infrastructure markets. I hope that you find these new tools of substantial interest and I would welcome your views. Yours faithfully, BRENDAN LYON Chief Executive Officer 2.

Updates Beaches Link Tunnel & Western Harbour Tunnel (NSW) CREDIBLY PROPOSED - Coffey and AECOM have commenced geotechnical investigations for the Western Harbour Tunnel and the Beaches Link Tunnel projects in Sydney.

The NSW Government also announced a preferred route and the commencement of the market sounding process for the two projects. It is understood that the motorways will be procured under a Public Private Partnership, and the procurement will factor in both user tolls on the new corridors, as well as existing North-South harbour crossing toll revenues on the Sydney Harbour Bridge/Sydney Harbour tunnel corridor.
