CBE to host inaugural Public Works Infrastructure Summit

The Council for the Built Environment (CBE) is set to host the Inaugural Public Works Infrastructure Summit.

Public Works and Infrastructure Minister Dean Macpherson is expected to deliver the keynote address at the summit, which will be held on 1 April 2025. 

The summit — to be hosted under the theme: “Turning South Africa into a construction site: Growing the economy and creating jobs” — will explore strategies for optimising asset life cycles, using public-private partnerships and ensuring equitable infrastructure investments.

Additionally, discussions will include issues that relate to the infrastructure audit; the promotion of ethical governance; exploring innovative measures for effective asset management, property management, and green social infrastructure, while maximising its commercial value for public good. 

Addressing Parliament earlier this month, Macpherson committed that the department will formalise its approach to public asset management with the introduction of technical task teams in cities across the country. 

It is envisaged that the approach will attract private sector investment to revitalise these assets for productive use. 

In attendance will be CEOs and leaders of the broader built environment and construction industry, financial institutions, insurance companies, developers, asset and property managers, real estate entities, the Minister and his deputy, and MECs to discuss and agree on collaborative efforts to achieve the goal of turning South Africa into a construction site.
