End of Year Message from the Chairman

2013 has been a successful year for ISCA. We have consolidated our industry position, have rated our first projects, have several projects signed-up to be rated in 2014 and have continued our development of the IS tool.

With the work underway to add new themes to the tool, we can be confident that we have in IS a means to contribute to the complex task of infrastructure investment prioritisation that Australia faces. ISCA is ready to play its part.

My best wishes to all members and industry stakeholders and my thanks to our staff. It has been a good year – let’s make 2014 a great one.

David Singleton

Chairman
