The Infrastructure (Wales) Act (IWA) received Royal Assent on 3 June 2024 with parts of the act coming into force on 4 June 2024. The Act aims to reform how infrastructure in Wales (and the Welsh marine area) is consented with the intention of streamlining and modernising the process. It will establish a unified infrastructure consenting process called an Infrastructure Consent, for specified types of major infrastructure called Significant Infrastructure Projects (SIPs). Arwel Evans MRTPI's blog explores where we are now, what the Act will achieve, the drawbacks and what's next for infrastructure consenting in Wales: https://lnkd.in/ea-e4ppA

The UK’s infrastructure and construction sector has been a key focus of the new government’s first few days in power.

🇪🇺 Did you know that Eurozone nations tend to be slower at rolling out major infrastructure projects – but do so at lower cost – compared to peer countries like the UK, US and Australia? This and other insights are unveiled and explored in BCG’s new research into UK infrastructure delivery, which looks at 2,300 projects globally from the past two decades. How can these challenges be overcome? Our report draws upon best practice case studies from around the world to help answer this. One such example is the Dutch planning reform of the early 2000s, implemented by the government in the face of increasing time and cost overruns for infrastructure projects. Our research looks at this and many other areas in which Eurozone nations do well, often including remarkable cost efficiency per kilometre when it comes to rail and highways. 🚆 An essential read for anyone involved in planning and delivering infrastructure projects in any nation, the full report is available here: https://on.bcg.com/4cjHNH9

Just two months into the fiscal year, the government has reduced the Public Sector Development Program (PSDP) 2024-25 allocation for the National Highways Authority (NHA). This cutback raises concerns about the impact on infrastructure development and maintenance projects managed by the NHA. #PSDP #NationalHighwaysAuthority #Infrastructure #GovernmentFunding #FiscalYear2024 #smartnewspk #smartnews

In July, the King announced the Government’s upcoming Planning and Infrastructure Bill, aimed at accelerating the delivery of high-quality infrastructure and housing. With the recent publication of the NPPF consultation, we now have more insights into what this transformative bill may include. https://ow.ly/ohon50Txy9P #NPPF #Planning #Infrastructure #UKhousing

🚨New paper: State Capacity for Building Infrastructure US infrastructure construction (transportation, energy, etc.) is often costly & slow. I discuss the data & propose reforms. Here is the paper: https://lnkd.in/erYdn4KF

It's fantastic to see Infrastructure NSW taking bold steps towards a sustainable future with the release of the National Embodied Carbon Measurement for Infrastructure: Technical Guidance. This document provides a consistent approach to measuring embodied carbon in infrastructure projects developed in close collaboration with other Australian jurisdictions—a crucial move towards effective carbon management. At MI Engineers, we couldn't agree more that consistent measurement is the key to driving meaningful progress in infrastructure decarbonisation. While navigating these new standards might feel overwhelming, we're here to help. With extensive experience working alongside large asset owners in the UK, we've developed comprehensive carbon libraries covering PAS 2080 Modules A, B and C for whole-of-life assessment. If you need help figuring out where to start or need guidance in implementing these standards, MI Engineers is ready to support your journey to a lower-carbon future.
