In the MTBPS it is stated that government needs to improve on the overall effectiveness of infrastructure delivery and locate efficiencies within the delivery chain. There is recognition that large scale projects have the potential for corruption and maladministration. The Council has forged links with the Construction Sector Transparency Initiative (COST) whose aim was to ensure transparency at every stage of the infrastructure development process. COST will complement rather than replace the state's existing supervision and regulatory framework. The Council viewed the rollout of the initiative as key in enhancing the levels of transparency in the delivery of major infrastructure and ensuring that communities obtain value for money on infrastructure projects.
