Cement Concrete & Aggregates Australia (CCAA) has published its Strategic Plan 2024-2026 and an updated constitution.
CCAA CEO Michael Kilgariff said, “Our new Strategic Plan and Constitution set the foundation for a more inclusive, responsive and sustainable CCAA. We acknowledge the support and role of the CCAA Council and members in the development and approval of the new Strategy and Constitution.
“These initiatives are designed to strengthen the organisation’s advocacy efforts, enhance member inclusivity, and promote sustainability across the sector.
“The updated Constitution introduces a more democratic framework, giving members a greater voice in decision-making. The previously complex committee structures have been simplified and replaced by the National Industry Committee and the Sustainability & Technical Committee, supported by the State Committees, allowing for more efficient operations and better alignment with the industry’s current and future needs.
“These changes reflect our commitment to being an influential leader and advocate for the heavy construction materials industry, while championing sustainability at every level”, Mr Kilgariff said.
Key focus areas of the Strategic Plan 2024-2026:
- Advocacy & Reputation: CCAA said it is committed to strengthening its role as the voice of the heavy construction materials industry. The plan aims to align the industry’s narrative with national challenges, ensuring that cement, concrete and aggregates are recognised for their essential role in Australia’s infrastructure.
- Sustainability & Decarbonisation: With sustainability at the forefront of global industry trends, CCAA said it will lead efforts to decarbonise the sector. This includes the implementation of the Cement & Concrete Industry Decarbonisation Facilitation Plan, which sets clear targets for reducing emissions and advancing environmentally friendly practices.
- Resource Access & Efficient Logistics: Ensuring sustainable access to raw materials is a key priority for CCAA. The Strategic Plan focuses on optimising the supply chain and addressing logistical challenges to secure the continued supply of critical materials required for Australia’s growing infrastructure needs.
The launch of the updated Constitution and Strategic Plan also reinforces CCAA’s commitment to its core values:
- Influential Leader: Advocating for policies that support industry growth and sustainable practices
- Collaborative Partner: Engaging with government, industry, and stakeholders to create a united voice for the sector
- Dedicated Advocate: Promoting the importance of Australia’s heavy construction materials industry in supporting national infrastructure
- Sustainability Champion: Driving sustainable practices and innovations that ensure the long-term viability of the sector
CCAA said it believes these changes will enhance its ability to represent and serve its members while contributing to Australia’s broader economic and environmental goals.
