The NSW Government is pleased to announce the release of the Principles for Partnership with the Construction Industry.

The Principles for Partnership seeks to address current sector challenges while encouraging improved collaboration between government and the construction industry and aligning efforts to deliver the $119.4 billion infrastructure pipeline for the benefit of the people of NSW.  

The NSW Government Action Plan: A Ten Point Commitment to the Construction Sector was published in 2018. Significant progress has been made since then, but new challenges and priorities require a refresh of principles that underpin the partnership between government and industry. 

Given this progress, the NSW Government has the following Principles for Partnership with the Construction Industry:   

  • build up domestic manufacturing   

  • ensure safety & wellbeing  

  • boost productivity    

  • invest in skills and local jobs   

  • enhance industry culture and diversity  

  • improve financial sustainability    

  • decarbonise to meet net zero targets.
