The Department of Infrastructure engaged a First Nations Advisor through an Approach to Market process to support an independent review of the National Partnership Agreement (NPA) on Land Transport Infrastructure Projects, required by clause 72 of the NPA approximately 12 months before its June 2024 expiry. The advisor was contracted to provide cultural support and ensure the review appropriately considered First Nations outcomes, including advising on engagement with First Nations stakeholders, assessing the effectiveness of the Indigenous Employment and Supplier-Use Infrastructure Framework (operational since July 2019), and identifying opportunities to accelerate social and economic outcomes for First Nations peoples through infrastructure investment. The review findings would inform negotiations for a replacement Federation Funding Agreement. The procurement was classified as consultancy work but not high-risk, high-value, and was classified by Source Nation Pty Ltd T/as Nganya (contract notice CN3996373).
