Bond University researcher joins Queensland’s new infrastructure think tank
Professor Michael Regan from Bond University’s Institute of Sustainable Development and Architecture has been appointed to the newly formed Infrastructure Queensland committee. He joins a team of highly regarded private sector representatives and government department heads brought together to advise the Queensland Government on the state’s future infrastructure needs.
“The Infrastructure Queensland advisory group comprises a team of very experienced people with high-level expertise in water supply, ports, construction, engineering, transport, finance and local government,” said Professor Regan, who has published numerous peer-reviewed papers on major infrastructure project management and procurement.
“My contribution will be based on the multidisciplinary research I have conducted at Bond University, covering all the different components of infrastructure planning and development.”
Reporting to the Department of State Development, Infrastructure and Planning, the group is expected to adopt a “lateral thinking” approach to assist the Minister examine procurement and finance options for the delivery of infrastructure in Queensland.
