South Australia is entering a transformative period of infrastructure investment and the 2026 CCF SA Industry Leadership Breakfast brings together senior government decision-makers and industry leaders for an exclusive discussion on the State’s infrastructure priorities.

The event will feature insights from key leaders as they explore government priorities, major project opportunities for civil contractors, procurement, innovation, workforce development, and the partnerships needed to deliver long-term growth.

As one of CCF SA’s premier advocacy events, this is a unique opportunity for contractors, consultants, suppliers and industry stakeholders to gain a firsthand perspective on South Australia’s current infrastructure agenda and connect with the leaders shaping it.

The CCF SA Industry Leadership Breakfast is a must-attend event for all civil construction stakeholders wanting to have their finger on the pulse.

Members are encouraged to attend the CCF SA Annual General Meeting (AGM) at 9.30am following the breakfast, in the same venue.
