PRIVATELY FINANCED PROJECTS
The NSW Government's Working with Government policy aims to improve the value-for-money, timeliness and quality of services it provides to the community by engaging the private sector to provide, where appropriate, supporting infrastructure and non-core services. The policy incorporates rigorous public interest and value-for-money tests.
The Treasury acts as the Government's centre of commercial, financial and legal expertise to assist agencies with privately financed proposals and to provide Government advice to the private sector. Following changes to government departmental structures in April 2003, responsibility for the ongoing development and administration of the Working with Government policy has been transferred from the Premier's Department to Treasury.
More information on Privately Financed Projects can be accessed through the dedicated Working with Government web site.
