style=\"font-weight: 400;\">State Budget Papers<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, is expected to increase transparency around infrastructure spending and provide a trusted source of information with updated forecasts and data to attract new entrants to Western Australia\u2019s building market and encourage increased competition and innovation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The State Government has said that the Western Australian construction industry is thriving, with a number of projects currently underway and many more planned, leading to additional job opportunities and making the state an attractive place for people interstate and overseas to work and live.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The dashboard provides information about many of these major projects including hospitals, schools, and other developments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Western Australia Treasurer, Rita Saffioti, said that the State Government\u2019s record $43.9 billion Asset Investment Program is setting up the state for the future and providing opportunities for local construction businesses and workers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;This dashboard will be a key tool in helping these local companies to plan ahead, prepare and bid for potential jobs and make adjustments to their business as required, like increasing their workforce, to deliver these vital projects,\u201d Ms Saffioti said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Western Australia Finance Minister, Sue Ellery, said that the Pipeline of Works interactive dashboard demonstrates the State Government&#8217;s commitment to enhancing economic and social outcomes for the state as it continues to create jobs and opportunities through government spending.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;The interactive dashboard assists local businesses as they plan and prepare to bid for government tenders relating to non-residential and other infrastructure projects,\u201d Ms Ellery said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:
