An Australian Industry Participation (AIP) Plan is an essential element of the Enhanced Project By-law Scheme (EPBS). The EPBS Policy and Administrative Guidelines sets out the terms, policy and administrative criteria for the Scheme, including the criteria for an AIP Plan.
The AIP Plan Customer Guide can assist EPBS applicants to prepare and implement an AIP Plan.
AIP Plans enable major project proponents to show how they provide full, fair and reasonable opportunity to Australian industry to participate in major projects.
AIP Plans offer major project proponents an opportunity to familiarise themselves with Australian industry capability, identify qualified suppliers and to secure valuable support for the project from industry, local communities and governments.
