Tasmania's infrastructure pipeline over the next 10 years will surpass $30 billion, providing the workforce with certainty for years to come.
The latest Tasmanian 10-year Infrastructure Pipeline shows a steady stream of work – ensuring we can continue to grow our economy, create jobs and deliver the infrastructure Tasmania needs now and into the future.
Minister for Infrastructure, Kerry Vincent, said the pipeline was an important tool for planning and resourcing the rollout of a significant construction agenda by government and industry across residential, commercial, civil and industrial projects.
"The pipeline, across the public and private sector, ensures we can appropriately plan ahead and make sure we have the workforce and budget for a smooth, continuous program of planning and construction," he said.
"The updated pipeline reflects an increase of $3.62 billion on last year – totalling $30.68 billion over the next decade.
"With the State's largest ever construction project – the new Bridgewater Bridge – nearing completion, it's important we continue the momentum.
"442 active projects are in the pipeline, each valued at over $5 million, up from 385 projects in 2024, demonstrating the Government's continued commitment to infrastructure delivery in Tasmania.
"The five biggest projects on the books are all energy-related and valued at least $1 billion each including Marinus Link and the Robbins Island Wind Farm.
"New projects added to the pipeline now include the $1.8 billion SunCable advanced cable manufacturing, the $250 million Housing Affordability Fund to be delivered by Homes Tasmania, and the $188 million Basic Fleet Pole Replacement by TasNetworks."
The pipeline captures active projects currently in the planning, procurement, construction and closure phases and reports the expected expenditure for each project based on its estimated construction start date.
Minister Vincent said planned investment was spread right across the state with $9.5 billion slated for the North West, $7.8 billion for the North, $9.6 billion for the south, and $3.6 billion statewide.
"The pipeline helps us make sure those doing the building can plan well ahead and lock-in aspects like financing, approvals and a skilled and ready workforce when needed," he said.
As part of the 2030 Strong Plan for Tasmania's Future, the Tasmanian Government is ensuring Tasmanians have access to the infrastructure they need and deserve.
The total projected expenditure is based on information gathered from asset owners in the last quarter of 2024.
