INSW’s expanded responsibilities as Infrastructure Co-ordinator General

Today the NSW Government has announced an increased role of Infrastructure NSW’s (INSW) responsibilities as Infrastructure Co-ordinator General.  

The Infrastructure NSW Act 2011 expressly provides for the role of a ‘Co-ordinator General’ and sets out functions to support the coordination, review and monitoring of infrastructure projects.  

Infrastructure NSW will lead three immediate areas of work to facilitate collaboration between agencies to resolve issues:

• Infrastructure to support employment priorities: focus on freight logistics and employment-related development in Western Sydney and the Aerotropolis.
• Infrastructure to support housing priorities: supporting housing development as per NSW housing targets and housing reforms as well as the National Housing Accord.
• Support the Electricity Infrastructure Roadmap: coordination of enabling and complementary infrastructure essential for delivery of energy and transmission while supporting thriving local communities across NSW.
