Thank you Australian Institute of Architects [WA] for providing much needed advocacy for our profession, providing insight to the Government on stimulus measures needed to help WA recover. Grateful to be a part of the team and many thanks to Pete Hobbs and Beata Davey for preparing the submission.
There are many people providing ideas to the Government on what is needed, the construction industry will obviously be one of the best placed industries in WA (and Australia) to assist with this. In a development life cycle, Architects and the Consultant team often feel the effect of a construction industry slowdown first, it is vital that we implement capital works stimulus packages now, so they are shovel ready when we get through the period of economic slow down.
