School Infrastructure NSW recognised at Greater Sydney Commission Awards

Release date: 02 July 2018

School Infrastructure NSW (SINSW) was recognised at the Greater Sydney Commission Awards Ceremony last week for its School Assets Strategic Plan. As part of improving how we plan and deliver schools to 2031 and beyond under the School Assets Strategic Plan, we are:

  • ensuring that our schools can flexibly accommodate increasing student numbers with school expansions and modular buildings
  • involving the community in new approaches to planning. Instead of upgrading education infrastructure one school at a time, we are collaborating with the community to determine how best to distribute students and deliver new and upgraded facilities within an area or region
  • making it easier for school infrastructure projects to start by streamlining the approvals process in a new education-based State Environmental Planning Policy
  • investigating how we can better harness innovative technologies and equip our education facilities for the digital age.

SINSW Chief Executive Officer Anthony Manning celebrated the team’s accomplishment.

“This recognition by the Greater Sydney Commission further validates School Infrastructure NSW as a centre of excellence for the planning and delivery of school projects across the state as part of the biggest investment in public school infrastructure in the history of NSW,” Mr Manning said.

The NSW Government is spending $6 billion over four years to deliver more than 170 new and upgraded schools. This includes an additional $160 million spend in 2018/19 as part of the record $747 million maintenance investment announced last year.
