Private sector participation

We have a thorough understanding of the principles underpinning corporatisation and privatisation, combined with practical experience gained from being involved in both Australian and overseas reform initiatives.

We have successfully developed and implemented models of private sector participation in the provision of infrastructure throughout Australia (Victoria) and Asia, including the water, wastewater, power and transport sectors. We have played a lead advisory role at the commencement of private sector participation in the Philippines, Thailand and Indonesia. In Vienna, Austria, Tasman pioneered with Macquarie Bank a cross-border lease structure for part of the wastewater systems of Vienna.

Through our extensive work on infrastructure reform, we have developed a series of principles and country specific strategies for:

·         Reforming public utilities for water and electricity;

·         Unbundling existing institutions in the water and energy sectors;

·         Identifying areas where there could be private sector investment;

·         Analysing the financial relationships between utilities and governments;

·         Applying legal and financial innovations in concession contracts to individual projects;

·         Developing appropriate institutional and regulatory frameworks for project implementation and risk mitigation; and
