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 the major 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.”
