Lindsay Le Compte describes the
ACA’s view on sustainability, “It is
now recognised by all organisations
that looking sensibly at their day-
to-day operations and their future
within any industry, that sustainability
issues link their interests and
they are going to be a little more
important factor when tendering
for work or for other processes.”
ACA’s goals
“The association’s future is tied to the
industry. Obviously if the industry is
doing well then themajor organisations
in it are doing well.But they need
to operate on the basis that while
between them they have over 100,000
employees, they probably contract
with another 200,000 employees
of other organisations across the
sector,” explains Lindsay Le Compte.
“For the future theassociation is looking
to being involved with government to
maintain an appropriate pipeline of
public works. The state governments
do not have a lot of money to build
infrastructure, so a lot of the work we will
do in the future will consist of assisting
public and private sector clients to
clear the way for funding and financing
of projects, as well as better ways of
developing those projects andmanaging
them and completing them on time.”
