NSW Gateway Reviews

Here you will find resources tailored to your infrastructure assurance needs. It includes information on the purpose of assurance reviews, guidance on how to prepare for these reviews and toolkits specifically designed for gateway reviews.

Policy and Guidance

The NSW Gateway Policy establishes a framework in New South Wales to focus resources on high-risk investments, providing independent assurance to both the project owners and the Government as the investor.

Gate 0

Gate 0 reviews inform whether the problem or service need has been appropriately defined and evidenced. This review informs the agency’s decision to allocate resources to progress the project through to an analysis of options and preliminary business case.

Gates 1-6

Gateway reviews (Gates 1 to 6) are independent expert reviews lasting about three days. Each review follows a similar structure, focusing on project development and delivery, as well as high-value areas that have greatest impact on successful outcomes.

Health Checks

Health Check reviews resemble the Gateway reviews (Gates 1 to 6) and follow the same format. These reviews address the Key Focus Areas and rate overall delivery confidence, while also addressing additional areas of concern.

Deep Dive

Deep Dive reviews focus on specific issues rather than the full range of issues typically covered in a Health Check. These reviews are usually conducted in response to issues raised by key stakeholders involved in the project or at the request of the relevant Government Minister.
