CCF SA STRATEGIC PLAN
| 2021 - 2024
A NEW STRATEGIC PLAN
The Civil Contractors Federation South Australia (CCF SA) has established itself over a fiftyyear period as the peak body for the civil construction industry in South Australia.
OVER THE NEXT THREE YEARS, THE BOARD AND EXECUTIVE OF CCF SA PLAN TO BUILD ON WHAT CCF SA DOES WELL:
ADVOCATE
for the interests of all civil contractors, our allied partners and the industry
ENGAGE
our membership through events and opportunities to build connections and knowledge
PROVIDE
leading training through Civil Train and the State’s first civil construction apprenticeship
CREATE
the next generation of civil contractors through our Group Training Organisation
In addition to these core responsibilities, CCF SA will be raising the bar.
We have a bold new vision that sees the civil construction industry being widely recognised for what we know it is: an essential foundation to the prosperity of South Australia.
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, communications and gas.
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 young 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.
