Overview
Australia has a unique opportunity to build a competitive, viable and resilient domestic manufacturing industry for wind and transmission towers.
Through this consultation, the department would like to understand more about the opportunities, barriers and outlook for our wind and transmission infrastructure supply chain.
Your feedback will help us:
gain a detailed understanding of Australia’s current and potential manufacturing capability and capacity for wind and transmission towers
identify potential opportunities for Australian steel manufacturers, metal fabricators and related businesses to expand their role in the domestic production of wind towers and transmission towers
enhance our understanding of how the industry engages with opportunities and risks with foreign investment in manufacturing in Australia
explore ways to grow local jobs and industry while strengthening supply chains and energy security.
We are seeking feedback from businesses of all sizes across the supply chain. These insights will help design policies that support a Future Made in Australia.
