IAQ/Bond University Research Report - July/August 2009
A Survey of Alternative Financing Mechanisms for Public Private Partnerships
Public private partnerships (PPPs) are a relatively recent form of major project procurement for delivery of major projects and infrastructure services. They account for less than 10% of state capital procurement in Australia and have introduced a more scientific approach to the delivery of large and complex public services measured in both quantitative and qualitative terms. The result has been a significant improvement in project delivery (cost and time), reduced procurement cost, greater certainty with full life cycle costing, higher levels of innovation and technology and better quality service outcomes. These benefits contribute to better value for money results for government than traditional procurement methods.

What Impact Will Current Capital Market Conditions Have On Public Private Partnerships

The essential research question to be answered here is whether current volatility and uncertainty in capital markets in Australia affects the feasibility of privately financed infrastructure and specifically, the PPP method of procurement.
