General Peter Cosgrove (Ret.) talked about planning from a military perspective. Some of the important points he made at the C2030 Perth summit included –

A planning culture needs to be developed
Leadership is needed for looking at complexity & reducing to simplicity so as to be able to communicate the plan
Focus on most urgent & achievable parts of the plan
Solve problems laterally but deploy the plan in a linear fashion
Leaders envisage the end outcome and articulate the vision
Leaders have to be good at picking the right experts
Leaders need to be able to cope with adversity
Condition the team to cope with setbacks
Build agility into the team

John Langoulant from Australian Capital Equity presented a session on Infrastructure & the planning process at C2030 Perth. Some of his points included –

All about process
Process in development in Western Australia is poor
Like to see long term plans
Will be a leading economy
Perth sits on the Indian Ocean Rim
Perth should be a centre for the provision of health services, research and tourism
There are too many vested interests
Perth could be home to the performing arts and have multiple cultural precincts
Maximise access, reduce regulation
Build a world class modern stadium
There are issues with planning & politicians
Perth needs adaquate infrastructure to sustain the population on the future
There needs to be active planning and provisioning of infrastructure, most importantly, active government engagement
Rather than rush projects through without enough capital, wait until they can be funded properly i.e. Bell Tower & Convention Centre
Government needs to get better at recognising infrastructure needs
Need to encourage an art culture incubator
Planning has failed – no great strategy
Government never had a direction
There are over 600 submissions to the federal government for projects across the country
Need a better process for getting projects onto that long list
Too many cost blowouts on projects
Planning for a new sports stadium has been a failure
People should come first
Need good planning process
