Tasmanian Major Projects Conference 2026: Shaping Tasmania's Infrastructure for the Future

WEDNESDAY JULY 29, 2026

Leaders from government, industry and the infrastructure sector will gather in Hobart this September for the ^6th Tasmanian Major Projects Conference, where they will explore the projects, priorities and partnerships shaping the state's future.

Returning to the Wrest Point Conference Centre on 16–17 September 2026, the conference will showcase the major investments driving Tasmania's economic growth and examine the opportunities and challenges influencing the delivery of critical infrastructure.

With a 10-Year Infrastructure Pipeline valued at almost $40 billion and a significant program of projects currently underway, Tasmania is continuing to invest in transport, housing, energy, health and community infrastructure to support population growth, improve connectivity and strengthen the state's long-term economic productivity.

The two-day conference will provide a platform for senior decision-makers to discuss the policies, innovations and collaborative approaches needed to successfully deliver this program of work. Bringing together senior leaders from government, industry and the private sector, the event will examine the issues and opportunities facing the next generation of Tasmania's infrastructure delivery.

More than 25 expert speakers will share practical insights into the planning, funding and delivery of Tasmania's infrastructure pipeline. The program will also feature two ministerial addresses, providing delegates with firsthand perspectives on the Tasmanian Government's infrastructure priorities and future direction. Through keynote presentations, panel discussions and case studies, delegates will hear directly from the organisations leading major developments across the state and gain valuable insights into the opportunities shaping Tasmania's infrastructure sector.

Recognised as one of Tasmania's leading infrastructure events, the conference has already confirmed over 150 delegates from across the infrastructure, construction, engineering, planning and development sectors, providing valuable opportunities for discussion, business development and networking.
