• Escalating infrastructure investment by reducing bid costs and project timeframes • Enhancing investor returns and reducing their return volatility by increasing the pool of attractive illiquid assets • Addressing the infrastructure deficit • Lifting productivity growth through an increase in capital intensity • Filling the economic growth void in the rotation away from mining investment Dr David Dombkins Jane McGill

Round table discussion14:00 Reducing Australia’s PPP bid costs There are calls that the cost of bidding for PPPs in Australia ought to be reduced to improve the

appeal of investments. Infrastructure Australia’s KPMG commissioned review in found that costs were significant - higher than some global equivalents – at 0.5-1.2% of project capital value, compared to 0.35- 1% in Canada. Compared to the UK’s 2-3% figure, they are perhaps at the better end of the scale, however the move towards lower costs may be justified in a growingly competitive global environment for infrastructure investment. This discussion will examine this issue, how salient it is for Australian infrastructure development, and ways in which it might be remedied, including:

Session A Understanding lender safeguards in project finance for infrastructure development

Warranties, undertakings, representations, step-in, direct agreement, taking security, oh my! The devil of lender protection is in the details, and it is critical for project companies to have a clear understanding of their positive and negative undertaking requirements and potential triggers to lenders to manage potential risk through defensive or offensive actions. Likewise, lenders on complex infrastructure assets can risk significant loss through failing to take appropriate measures to protect their financial return.

This in-depth learning session will give a general overview of key lender safeguards applicable to anyone who is involved in infrastructure asset origination or finance provision offering scenario demonstrations and role-playing and the opportunity for detailed recommendations around a participant’s case examples if desired.

Separately

bookablePre-Summit In-Depth Learning Sessions – Wednesday 19 November 2014These long format workshop style sessions will provide participants with the opportunity to deepen their understanding of infrastructure finance supply and structural public and private partnership fundamentals. Delivered using a combination of seminars, interactive formats and hands-on exercises these sessions will provide a practical understanding of essential elements of infrastructure funding, tailored to your specific needs.

Both sessions run for one full day. Registration and morning coffee is at 08:30 and sessions will conclude at 17:00. Lunch, morning and afternoon tea will be provided.

Session B The fundamental maths of project finance - interpreting financial ratios and impacts on financial covenants

Lenders to infrastructure projects seek triggers which give them the capacity to intervene and salvage their investment if the financial credentials of a project appear to be in doubt. Some elements of the complexities of return, adherence to loan repayments and risks such as the balance of equity and debt investment in a project can be broken down to key metrics which allow lenders a simple snapshot view of the financial health of their investment. For project originators or project companies a strong understanding of these critical figures can inform sensible infrastructure asset and public/private partnership design. It pays to know your numbers.

This in-depth learning session is geared towards all participants in infrastructure project finance, with a broad overview of financial ratios, financial covenants, and potential lender interventions and their trigger points. This helicopter view will be coloured with practical case study examples and break out sample calculation exercises with whole group answer work through (practice makes perfect). Participants will also have the opportunity to bring along real or hypothetical scenarios to work through during the session.

But don’t just take our word for it, hear what others are saying about the event:

“The Australian Infrastructure Finance Summit will bring together stakeholders across the infrastructure investment spectrum, including governments, developers, advisors and providers of capital. It presents a good opportunity for participants to gain an appreciation of the key issues being considered by each stakeholder group, and to identify areas for collaboration and co-operation to deliver infrastructure projects and investment opportunities for the benefit of all participants.”Andrew Major, General Manager Investments, Hesta

“Events like this support communication of issues and building of stronger networks” Norman Heavener, Head of Project & Infrastructure Finance, Westpac

“The Summit will facilitate discussion, debate and active listening for all parties concerned.”Professor Derek Walker, Program Director, Property Construction and Project Management, RMIT

“I think the main benefit of the summit will be to bring industry and government together so that each party understands where the other is coming from. This may perhaps lead to policy change so as to provide a better financial environment for the private sector to step up to the plate.”Jon Stanford, Director, Insight Economics


Financing and developing infrastructure is a complex undertaking which depends on a wealth of supporting partners. Delegates at the Australian Infrastructure Finance Summit will have a strong interest in meeting with and learning from organisations offering products and services which assist them in infrastructure finance or development.

A range of sponsorship and exhibition opportunities will be available at the summit, which stand to significant benefit to organisations working to develop business and meet key decision makers and buyers in infrastructure investment and development.

Want to develop business at the event? Sponsorship and exhibition opportunities available

Attendees at the Australian Infrastructure Finance Summit will be looking to learn about key legal, financial, risk and regulatory considerations in infrastructure investment and development, learn from best practice case studies, and evaluate new technologies and products that will make the complex tasks involved in managing infrastructure development and investment easier to handle.
