CCF SA not only seeks to fulfill its core objectives daily, but continues its shameless push to raise awareness and promote the Civil Construction Industry to the wider population of South Australia. This industry, which is an essential foundation for the prosperity of the region, deserves to be widely recognised for its contributions. We want all South Australians to understand this critical role: not only what the industry does, but what it contributes. Essential infrastructure like roads, bridges, airstrips, pipelines, drainage, ports and utilities, land development and earthmoving that underpin the residential and commercial building construction industries, and the provision of services which all households and businesses rely on like power, water, gas and communications. The Civil Construction Industry is also a magnet for investment into our state, a provider of vast employment opportunities, with the potential to offer a diverse range of careers for all people. Civil construction contributes to the quality of life in South Australia and the health of its economy. CCF SA will continue supporting the Civil Construction Industry to be skilled, sustainable and profitable. We will respond to the needs of civil contractors, build industry capability, and influence actions that will benefit the industry and, in turn, all South Australians.

PRESIDENT REPORT As my first term as President of the Civil Contractors Federation South Australia (CCF SA) draws to a close, I am pleased to present the President’s Annual Report for the 2022-23 fiscal year on behalf of the CCF SA Board and Members. This report outlines our successful efforts in prioritising and strengthening key initiatives outlined in the 2021-24 CCF SA Strategic Plan, which was released two years ago. Throughout the year, we have reached several significant milestones and met a number of Nationaland local industry challenges head-on. This snapshot report includes information and overviews of this year’s activities, and I trust you will find it informative and engaging. As I reflect on the CCF SA’s $8m revenue for the 2023 FY I am extremely pleased with the effort that the Board and CCF SA management have made to ensure that membership fees only contribute to just over 10% of our total revenue. As CCF SA President, I draw your focus to the following significant CCF SA Board-related matters and reflections: Governance Changes CCF SA’s momentum remains strong with more nominations received than available Director positions, indicating positive progress and a reflection of the changes and impacts made by the new CCF SA across our membership and industry. It is with gratitude that we acknowledge the dedication and service of John McMichael of T & J Constructions and Stephen Fines-Phillips of SEM Civil, both of whom have decided not to

nominate for another term.These outstanding leaders have made invaluable contributions to CCF SA and the industry. We also extend our recognition and appreciation to all current CCF SA Board Members for their tireless efforts in supporting the industry association and driving success. I also take this time to thank Peter Tan, formally of Greenhill Engineering. During his tenure as a Board Observer up until mid-2023, Peter provided invaluable engineering knowledge and experience over multiple terms. The conclusion of the 2022-23 Annual General Meeting (AGM) marks the beginning of a new era for the CCF SA Board. Comprising a dynamic blend of current and prospective directors, this fresh leadership team will be as deeply committed to enhancing the well-being of members, the industry, and the broader South Australian community. Congratulations to all the re-elected and newly elected members of the Board as we navigate through the most challenging and exciting years in South Australia’s infrastructure history. A New CCF SA House The year 2022 drew to a close with a significant and unexpected development for CCF SA, which marked a major turning point for our organisation. The South Australian State Government announced its plans to exercise compulsory acquisition of our Head Office located at 1 South Road Thebarton, which set the stage for a new era in our history. Effective from June 2023, CCF SA House is officially under the ownership of the State Government, and this led to an immediate
cessation of rental income which adversely impacted our cashflow. It should be noted that the decision to rent the lower level of our office building was aimed at reducing our operational costs and making membership more accessible. Despite the acquisition’s implications, our CCF SA team, under the care of our CEO, has managed our finances diligently through this period to ensure we could buffer the impacts of the acquisition. The unfortunate timing coincides with the critical momentum for growth and training of our civil workforce. Our commitment to serving the South Australian civil industry community remains unwavering. Currently, Our team is actively involved in finding new accommodation to suit the training and operations of CCF SA. Looking ahead, with a deadline set for November 2024, we remain hopeful that we will soon find a new home for our Head Office as we strive to maintain our position as the civil industry’s leading advocate in South Australia. We also maintain our relentless determination to ensure the highest level of training, education, and support to our members, ensuring that we meet the growing infrastructure needs of South Australia.

CEO REPORT As we gather to reflect and celebrate the 2022–23 fiscal period at the 2023 Annual General Meeting (AGM), I take this moment to pause and reflect on the momentous year we’ve had. After dedicating 25 years of my career to the infrastructure industry, I have yet to witness a situation like this. The year has been a testament to the resilience and adaptability of our industry, which has managed to overcome numerous political, economic, and fiscal hurdles.While the upcoming 2023–24 year is expected to bring its own set of challenges, we remain optimistic about the future. As we prepare to bid farewell to the current CCF SA strategy in June 2024, we take great pride in the accomplishments we have achieved under its implementation. At this 2023 AGM, we will introduce the new CCF SA Board and commence the development of the 2024–27 strategy.This is a crucial time as we prepare ourselves to face the upcoming 2026 State Election and forthcoming budget cycles, where a $24 billion spend over the forward estimates looms large. Unfortunately, the Federal Government’s 90-Day Independent Infrastructure Review has led to many contractors in our sector being caught in a project ‘freeze’; a situation we owe no thanks to. Consequently, we must brace ourselves for the daunting challenge of rapidly preparing and growing to cope with the considerable upswing in workload coming our way. Before we close out 2023, we must prioritise implementing our innovative ‘Member-Focused’ communication and engagement strategy and service, as well as continuing our crucial advocacy efforts for our sector with the State Government, our clients, and the broader community. Looking back on 2022–2023, we can proudly say that our industry advocacy efforts have been fruitful. We have made significant achievements in a range of complex and varied issues which stand as a testament to the hard work put in by our team. Despite the challenges that lie ahead, we remain committed to our goals and are confident that our resilience and adaptability will continue to carry us through. Highlights through the 2022–23 term are as follows: • Direct CCF SA submission to the Australian Government on the following reviews: • 90-Day Infrastructure Review • Office of Federal Safety Commissioner Review • Direct access and ongoing discussions held with several Australian Government Departments as we continue the fight for improved Civil Occupational Job Code recognition by ABS and Federal funding of our Civil Apprentices, including support for their employers and hosts. • Direct invitation to contribute to the draft Australian Skills Guarantee Procurement Connected Policy Guidelines as currently released by the Australian Government Department of Employment and Workplace Relations. • The Australian Government Budget for 2023–24 was released, prompting strong and frustrated calls for recognition and financial support for our South Australian Civil Apprentices.

Once again, the budget lacked the full support for Civil Apprentices through its Australian Apprenticeships Incentives System (AAIS). • After receiving CCF SA calls for civil apprenticeship recognition by the Australian Government, the South Australian Government provided support in response. • The South Australian Skills Commissioner was tasked with investigating concerns raised by CCF SA, which included engagement with other states and territories, as well as civil construction industry stakeholders. This investigation exposed the scale of the issues faced by South Australia, their impacts on workforce capability, and recommendations to address these concerns. It confirmed that CCF SA’s AAPL concerns were valid, revealing significant skills and workforce shortages within the civil construction industry, particularly at entry level. Moreover, the review found that other interstate jurisdictions were also facing similar skills shortages across the civil sector. • A South Australian Government letter was sent to Hon. Brendan O’Connor, MP and Minister for Skills and Training, encouraging him to work with SA Skills Commissioner and similar state-based representatives in other jurisdictions to address this critical issue. • Successful Civil Infrastructure Roundtable in South Australia with Minister Tom Koutsantonis MP, Minister for Infrastructure and Mining, resulting in his commitment to hold the same forum on an ongoing basis. • Several direct and ongoing forums with infrastructure Public Agencies, influencers, and decisionmakers. • More than 100 schools are directly engaged with CCF SA to promote Civil occupations and our industry. • The roll-out of CCF SA led ‘Flexible Industry Pathways’ in South Australian Secondary Schools is well in hand. This is a new critical industry pathway into civil careers for our young South Australian future civil professionals that was not previously available. • School Civil Immersion Programs are being successfully adopted: • 3-hour industry house tours (years 7–10) • 24 schools enrolled students in 12 programs in 2023. • 2-day trade taster (Years 10 and 11) • 18 schools enrolled in 7 programs in 2023. • 3-hour bus tour – CITB has ceased funding the bus tour however, Renewal SA will fund the whole program moving forward • 4 schools enrolled students in 4 programs in 2023. • We continue our advocacy on your behalf with our State Government on the following: • Labour Procurement ‘Making the Public Dollar Work’ Policies implementation, including: • 15-day payment terms across all levels of the supply chain. • 1% subcontractor support fund. • Establishment of an independent complaints process for tenderers.
10
• 20% of all labour hours on major projects to be sourced from apprentices, trainees, Aboriginal workers or the long-term unemployed. • Assisting local businesses to be ‘tenderready’. • Reconsider DIT direct engagement of civil contractors – including maintenance of State Government assets. • Live and dynamic platform for ‘Forward Works Plan’ providing access to industry to ‘real’ and reliable project status and planning. • Improved small, medium business support and recognition. • Transparent policies/position regarding South Australian owned civil contracting businesses. • Prior to the 2022 State Government Election, there was written confirmation from SA Labor Leader, Peter Malinauskas, that union related ‘no ticket, no start’ was not supported. • We continue to advocate strongly for our industry’s freedom, safety, and welfare. Before diving into this report, we would like to extend our heartfelt appreciation to our amazing CCF SA Members. Your consistent and invaluable support, both financially and otherwise, has played a pivotal role in our groundbreaking strides in the industry and community. We acknowledge that times can be tough, and we are deeply grateful for the steadfast devotion of all our members, both small or large. Your unwavering commitment to the greater good of the industry and South Australia has helped us to support each other and advance our industry. We cannot thank you enough for your unparalleled generosity. You are an integral part of the CCF SA family. Please continue to keep us in the loop on what impacts you and your business. We are always here to support you. My contact details can be accessed through he QR Code, so don’t hesitate to reach out. We hope you enjoy reading the report. Keep up the incredible work!

CCF SA WORKING FOR YOU As the only civil-focused advocate for the civil industry in South Australia, CCF SA worked tirelessly through 2022-23 to secure crucial priorities and reforms to meet the increasing demand for infrastructure in the state. We firmly believe that the critical infrastructure that builds and powers our state, including transportation through roads, railways, bridges, and ports, as well as essential utilities, heavily relies on a strong civil industry for construction and maintenance. CCF SA strives to build this strength, by backing its members and being the civil infrastructure voice for South Australia. The year 2022-23 witnessed the new South Australian government settling into its role, with several reviews commencing on existing and planned infrastructure programs and projects. The review period delivered positive outcomes such as the recast of the Torrens2Darlington Tunnels Project and a renewed commitment to broader network and amenity upgrades, amounting to $850 million along the final 10.5km section of South Road. As we approached the end of 2022, the industry’s widespread concerns about the absence of upcoming government infrastructure projects were clear. While the 2023-24 budget reflected a positive longterm commitment, with a record $24.7 billion infrastructure pledge, the short-term outlook was less optimistic. Shortly after the budget release, concerns were validated in May 2023 with the announcement of the Federal Government’s 90-Day Infrastructure
12
Review. The budgeted projects are now at risk of further reprofiling / delays or cancellation. Responding quickly, CCF SA prepared its own submission to the Australian Government, highlighting industry concerns and fears, fighting to retain project commitments as presented in the 2023-24 budget, all while seeking to maintain industry and community confidence. As the 2023 financial period came to an end, the Australian Government’s funding commitments to South Australia’s infrastructure remain unresolved. CCF SA continues to push for the retention and commencement of projects as budgeted. Beyond State Government plans and challenges, Local Government and private work continued to underpin much of our sector, and although material cost escalation bit through this period, the recovery is certainly now underway. CCF SA has been thoroughly engaged in taking on a vast list of challenges, ranging from inadequate projects, procurement reform, industry promotion, migration, and civil apprentice recognition, to the latest Federal workplace reforms all while aiming to strengthen the capacity and capability of the workforce. In 2022-23, our unwavering focus on advancing our SA Civil Industry Infrastructure Priorities has been evident in our daily operations and advocacy initiatives, ensuring that every civil contractor has the resources and support required to thrive.
We: •
•
•
Deliver a consistent, industry-led, bipartisan civil infrastructure future works programme, including maintenance of existing assets and new projects. CCF SA continues to work with State and Local Government agencies to ensure a consistent pipeline of works. Build and maintain workforce capacity and capability with a focus on diversity, youth, and retention of workers. CCF SA is lobbying to ensure parity for apprenticeship funding for our future workforce. We are activating e-learning to deliver training to the workforce in a more flexible environment, which will upskill the existing workforce. Reform procurement and project delivery policies and practices to deliver improved productivity and return value to South Australia and its civil industry. CCF SA
has a strong working relationship with the Office of the Industry Advocate and will continue to provide practical feedback regarding procurement practices. •

This framework, which extends across all levels of industry stakeholders, from contractors to suppliers, forms the bedrock upon which a thriving industry is built. By nurturing an environment that fosters healthy competition, encourages innovation, and upholds the principles of fairness and equity, CCF SA is shaping an industry where all stakeholders have the opportunity to flourish. Workforce Capacity Building and Diversity Focus A skilled and diverse workforce is the backbone of a thriving civil construction industry. CCF SA’s efforts in this realm are comprehensive, spanning recruitment, education, and retention. By championing diversity and equity at all levels, from entrylevel positions to leadership roles, the CCF SA is fortifying the industry with a rich tapestry of talent, ensuring that it remains adaptable, resilient, and representative of the communities it serves.
16

By streamlining processes, reducing administrative burdens, and fostering greater collaboration amongst industry stakeholders, the CCF is driving productivity gains that are poised to benefit projects both large and small. Conclusion: Benefiting All South Australians In concluding, the Civil Contractors Federation SA extends its gratitude to all stakeholders who have been instrumental in the realisation of these initiatives. It is our steadfast belief that the dividends of our collective efforts will be felt by all South Australians. By investing in safety, education, and innovation, we are not only shaping the future of the civil construction industry but also laying the foundation for a more prosperous and resilient South Australia.

18
Civil Train SA offers a diverse range of qualifications and skill clusters to meet the evolving demands of the industry. A notable highlight is the substantial increase in qualification completions, as SA and WA have diligently developed training and assessment strategies that aligned with industry requirements and improved delivery methodologies. The introduction of online e-learning and webinars, along with online video conferencing, became standard delivery tools and were well received by the industry. This flexible approach enabled many learners to complete their training, and in cases where key skill sets were not locally available, a collaborative effort involving interstate travel or video conferencing by key trainers provided the required training. Overall, these developments underscore Civil Train's unwavering commitment to providing high-quality training, as well as addressing the evolving needs of the civil construction industry in each respective region in 2023.

For the year ended 30 June 2023, CCF SA delivered an operating surplus of $1,220,793, compared to an operating deficit of $(119,011) in 2022. This strong result is driven by high demand in our training offerings including short courses, qualifications, and funded programs across all states, delivered by Civil Train SA, Civil Train WA, and Civil Train NT. Also attributable to the net surplus was accounting standard adjustments of our leases. During this financial year, CCF SA received notice from the SA State Government that the Head Office situated in Thebarton would be subject to compulsory land acquisition. The asset and liability thereto have been derecognised and are reflected in the 2023 result.
