Panel members – small business owner, Dan Farquhar, and local government representative, Kristian Rose – discussed the importance of major infrastructure projects for communities and the “multiplier effect” it provides which is a “massive win” for local businesses. Local content policies, upskilling through training and education programs, and simplifying the procurement process were other relevant topics discussed by the panel.
