Changes to Reporting Entities

 

The majority of changes to reporting entities outlined below were as a result of the introduction of the Government Sector Employment Act 2013 that came into force on 24 February 2014. The Act was aimed at developing a modern high-performing “government sector”.

On that date:

 

 

the Government Sector Employment Act 2013 (GSE Act) commenced

 

 

the Public Sector Employment and Management Act 2002 (the former Act) was repealed

 

 

the Administrative Arrangements Order 2014 (the Order) commenced.

The Act was subsequently amended on 23 April 2014 by the Administrative Arrangements (Administrative Changes—Ministers and Public Service Agencies) Order 2014 following establishment of the new Ministerial arrangements with subsequent changes to entity and cluster arrangements detailed within that Act and as part of the Allocation of the Administration of Acts.

As part of these revised arrangements the Finance and Services cluster was merged with the Treasury cluster to form a single Treasury and Finance cluster. Additionally, the Planning and Infrastructure sub-cluster of the Premier and Cabinet cluster was separated to form the new Planning and Environment cluster.

Chapter 1: Infrastructure Overview

1.1 Introduction

 

New South Wales’ ambitious infrastructure program is running at unprecedented levels as the Government works to rebuild the State and close a $30 billion infrastructure gap. Funding for this program is primarily secured from the State Budget, which has been refocused to sustainably support the Government’s infrastructure commitments and improve frontline services, while maintaining New South Wales’ triple-A credit rating.

The State’s infrastructure program prioritises transport-focussed assets to bolster productivity growth. The program makes a significant contribution to alleviating congestion, improving the quality of services and providing a capital expenditure boost that contributes to the ongoing restoration of economic growth throughout the State.

1.2 Infrastructure expenditure

 

With $15.0 billion allocated in 2014-15, State infrastructure expenditure will total $61.5 billion over the four years to 2017-18. This program is unprecedented in its size – 30 per cent higher over the next four years than for the four years to 2009-10 (excluding Commonwealth Government stimulus funding) – with a focus on major projects to rebuild the State.

Table 1.1 provides the State’s infrastructure expenditure summary to 2017-18.

Infrastructure Statement 2014-15   1 - 1


The ability to undertake this program arises because of the systematic approach taken by Government since 2011 to:

 

 

apply a reformed infrastructure policy framework (as detailed in Chapter 2 of this Paper)

 

 

secure a sustainable funding base while maintaining New South Wales’ triple-A credit rating.

1.3 Securing infrastructure funding

 

Infrastructure expenditure is funded from three different sources:

 

 

State funding which is increasing to provide more transport infrastructure, supported by the asset recycling program

 

 

funding from the Commonwealth Government which is increasing over the forward estimates reflecting its partnership with New South Wales to deliver major road projects including new funding for Western Sydney roads to support Sydney’s second airport at Badgerys Creek

 

 

Public Trading Enterprise (PTE) utility funding which is continuing to reduce as a result of more efficient capital investment and divestment which reduces costs for customers and alleviates pressure on the State’s debt position.

State infrastructure funding is increasing

The State-funded infrastructure program includes expenditure in the general government sector, public transport PTEs, the Sydney International Convention, Exhibition and Entertainment Precinct (also known as the Darling Harbour Live (DHL) project) and the State-funded contribution to WestConnex. The State-funded program increases to an average $8.8 billion per year over the four years to 2017-18. This compares with an average $5.9 billion per year over the three years to 2010-11 and represents an increase of around 49 per cent between the periods.

A key driver of this funding is the recycling of the proceeds of business asset sales through Restart NSW (refer to Chapter 2), which provides around $2.5 billion towards the current four year program.

LOGO

State-funded investment is at its highest in 2016-17 with the recognition of the DHL project as an asset on the balance sheet and the peaking of the State-funded contribution to the WestConnex project.

Commonwealth Government funding is increasing

Chart 1.2 shows the Commonwealth Government’s contribution of $8.8 billion to the State infrastructure program over the four years to 2017-18. This includes a peak contribution in 2016-17, which will fund the Pacific Highway upgrade.

The Commonwealth Government will provide funding for around 14.4 per cent of the State’s infrastructure program to 2017-18.

New South Wales successfully negotiated with the Commonwealth Government during 2013-14 to secure financial commitments to support WestConnex, NorthConnex and upgrades to Western Sydney roads to support Sydney’s second airport at Badgerys Creek, following a period of declining Commonwealth investment in New South Wales’ capital investment program.

Capital funding for utilities is moderating but remains significant

PTE infrastructure investment (excluding public transport, DHL and Government funding for WestConnex) will average $4.3 billion per year over the four years to 2017-18. This is a decrease of around 27 per cent compared with the three years to 2010-11 (refer to Chart 1.3) and is attributable to measures taken since 2011 by the Government, directing the electricity and water networks to manage their capital investment more effectively while maintaining service levels.

Chart 1.4 sets out the ongoing downward revisions in capital investment for the utility sector (electricity and water agencies).

 

Chart 1.4: Moderating Electricity and Water Utility Sector Capital Expenditure

 

LOGO

The Government announced its strategy in the 2012-13 Budget to reduce growth in electricity sector investment to put downward pressure on prices while maintaining service standards. This included integrating the three State-owned electricity distributors to reduce duplication, deliver capital efficiencies and identify an appropriate balance between asset standards and the timing of investment.

Businesses operating in the water and electricity sectors are at the end of a peak capital investment period. Improving capital efficiency through the Government’s electricity reform program reduces forecast capital expenditure to 2016-17 in the electricity sector by over $2 billion compared with the 2013-14 Budget forecasts. This reduction reflects more modest capital needs due to subdued energy demand forecasts.

An estimated $4.8 billion in capital savings will be achieved over the five years to 2015-16 as a result of the reform program.

Other factors contributing to forecast expenditure reductions in the commercial PTE sector include:

 

 

the reassessment of capital investment requirements and reprioritisation of works by Hunter Water and Sydney Water

 

 

the successful leasing of Port Botany, Port Kembla and the Port of Newcastle.

 

 

Infrastructure Statement 2014-15   1 - 5


Even at reduced capital expenditure levels, the electricity and water utilities continue to place pressure on the State’s finances constituting around 23 per cent of the State’s capital expenditure over the forward estimates.

Table 1.2 provides a breakdown of the infrastructure expenditure by source of funding.

1.4 Infrastructure investment 2014-15 to 2017-18

 

Around $15.0 billion in capital investment is budgeted for 2014-15, a 6.4 per cent increase above the expected outcome for 2013-14. The State’s infrastructure program will total $61.5 billion in the four years to 2017-18.

The overall composition of the infrastructure program compared to previous four year periods is illustrated in Table 1.3. The general government sector program including public transport, the DHL project and the State-funded contribution to WestConnex is around 58 per cent higher than for the four years to 2009-10 and is steadily increasing as a proportion of the total program, accounting for around 71 per cent of total investment to 2017-18.

Increased focus on transport

The State’s infrastructure program prioritises productivity-enhancing assets to boost economic growth in New South Wales. It has a particular focus on transport projects designed to reduce the costs of Sydney’s road congestion, which costs the State economy an estimated $5.1 billion each year.1

Over the next four years to 2017-18 the Government is undertaking $31.8 billion of major capital works for the transport sector including:

 

 

major upgrades for the Pacific Highway ($5.8 billion), Princes Highway ($681 million), Western Sydney Growth Roads ($557 million) and Great Western Highway and Bells Line of Road ($359 million)

 

 

the WestConnex Motorway project ($3.8 billion) (Refer to Box 1.2)

 

 

Western Sydney roads to support Sydney’s second airport at Badgerys Creek ($1.4 billion)

 

 

rail projects including the North West Rail Link ($5.2 billion), Northern Sydney Freight Corridor ($576 million), Fixing the Trains investments ($280 million) and $233 million for the next generation of rail fleet

 

 

CBD and South East Light Rail ($401 million), new buses ($422 million), the Opal card ($205 million) and new ferries ($42 million).

Infrastructure Statement 2014-15   1 - 7


In addition, the State Government will contribute $502 million to the NorthConnex Public Private Partnership which is recognised in this Budget, including up to $400 million from Restart NSW (refer to Box 1.1).

 

Box 1.1: NorthConnex Motorway Project

The Government and the M7 Westlink Shareholders (Transurban, Canadian Pension Plan and Queensland Investment Corporation) will construct and operate a tolled motorway, called NorthConnex (NCX), linking the M1 Pacific Motorway at Wahroonga to the Hills M2 Motorway at West Pennant Hills.

Once completed NCX will link Sydney’s north to the Orbital network and form part of the National Highway route. NCX will benefit Central Coast, Newcastle/Hunter and northern NSW communities by enhancing household and business road transport connections with the Sydney Orbital, southern NSW and Victoria.

NCX will comprise twin motorway tunnels around 9 km in length, wide enough for three lanes but initially marked for two in each direction and an increased height clearance of 5.3 metres. An additional lane will also be constructed for the M2 westbound between Pennant Hills Road and Windsor Road to facilitate safe merging from the tunnel onto the M2 Motorway.

The $3.0 billion project consists of a construction budget of $2.65 billion in addition to land and project delivery costs. It will be funded by:

 

 

tolls on the new NCX tunnel

 

 

M7 concession changes, including increasing the truck toll and extending the concession term

 

 

$400 million contribution from the Commonwealth Government.

 

 

$502 million State Government contribution (including up to $400 million from Restart NSW).

These projects, together with the balance of the Government’s infrastructure program, will make a significant contribution to alleviating congestion, improving the quality of government services and providing a foundation for the ongoing restoration of economic growth in New South Wales.

Box 1.2: WestConnex Motorway Project

The WestConnex (WCX) Project is the largest transport infrastructure project in Australia, involving 33km of upgraded and new motorways linking the M4 and M5 corridors and providing connections to the City and Airport/Port Precinct. The business case for the project, which was completed in 2013, included a Reference Scheme with a capital cost of $11.5 billion in 2012 dollars ($14.9 billion in nominal outturn costs).2

In October 2013 the Government established the WestConnex Delivery Authority (WDA) to lead the delivery of the WCX project. WDA is already undertaking the procurement of the M4 Widening and M4 East Tunnel, and will shortly commence the procurement process for the M5 East Tunnels.

The Government has committed $1.8 billion from Restart NSW towards WestConnex, while the Commonwealth Government has confirmed $1.5 billion in grant funding. In addition, the Commonwealth Government has signed a memorandum of understanding with New South Wales for a $2.0 billion subordinated debt facility to accelerate the delivery of WCX Stage 2 (M5 East tunnels).

The balance of the funding for the scheme will come from private sector debt and equity capital raised against tolls on completed stages of the Project, with the recycling of Government capital invested in the individual stages of WCX once traffic volumes are established.

To implement this financing strategy, the NSW Government will establish a new company, the Sydney Motorway Corporation Pty Limited (SMC), to manage the State’s financial interests in WCX. It will be capitalised with seed capital of $2.65 billion in shareholder funds to enable efficient delivery of the WCX Project. This company will be governed by a majority independent board of directors that will ensure commercially responsible investments. The Treasurer and the Minister for Roads and Freight will be joint shareholders.

Subsidiaries of SMC will be created to contract with the private sector to design, build and finance the individual stages of the WCX Project. They will also enter into long term contractual arrangements with Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) to transfer tolling rights, as well as long term property leases.

SMC will be establishing separate subsidiary companies to deliver and finance Stages 1 and 2 of WestConnex. WCX M4 Pty Limited will commence construction of the M4 Widening in early 2015. This will provide four lanes in each direction between Church Street, Parramatta and Homebush Bay Drive, Homebush.

WCX M5 Pty Limited will begin construction of Stage 2 in mid-2015. Significant private sector involvement will be sought. Stage 2 increases capacity along the M5 East corridor, and extends the motorway to St Peters. It will also include a new access link to the Sydney Airport area.

The WDA will provide a project management/advisory function for the SMC Subsidiaries, including design development, managing procurement processes, planning approvals, contract administration and community engagement.

Chart 1.6 demonstrates the significant shift in focus towards transport projects in the four years to 2017-18 compared to the four years to 2013-14. More than half of the State Government’s infrastructure program is now dedicated to transport projects, increasing from 42 per cent in the four years to 2013-14 to 52 per cent in the four years to 2017-18. This represents around an extra $8.0 billion of transport infrastructure investment over the four year period to 2017-18.

Capital investment by Major Sector (a)

 

LOGO

 

(a) The sectors used here are based on grouping similar agencies together and do not align with the GFS functional approach published in Budget Paper No. 2. Infrastructure investment allocations to sectors in this chart are indicative only. “Other” includes investment in family and community services, justice and emergency services, the arts and recreation and general public services.
(b) This total includes the Commonwealth Government’s Economic Stimulus Plan which provided funding for education, social housing and roads projects.

Electricity and utilities investment remains significant

Capital investment for water and electricity totals 23 per cent of the total capital program to 2017-18. The programs principally comprise:

 

 

$9.9 billion for energy projects to ensure a reliable electricity supply, meet forecast demand and maintain and replace assets as required, as well as essential distribution and transmission networks upgrades

 

 

$3.9 billion for water and wastewater projects including growth works to service urban development across Sydney, the Illawarra and the Blue Mountains ($824 million), priority sewerage programs ($70 million) and upgrades for dams, fish ways and reservoirs.

Health expenditure committed to hospitals

Around $4.4 billion has been allocated for health capital works to 2017-18 for hospital upgrades, redevelopments and expansions including:

 

 

St George Hospital redevelopment (Stage 1), Westmead Hospital redevelopment (Stage 1), Gosford Hospital redevelopment and Sutherland Hospital expansion

 

 

ongoing major works including a new Byron Central Hospital, Blacktown and Mt Druitt Hospitals (Stage 1), Campbelltown Hospital (Stage 1), Hornsby Ku-ring-gai Hospital (Stage 1), Wagga Wagga Base Hospital, Tamworth Hospital and the new South East Regional Hospital at Bega

 

 

a range of ongoing building and technology projects, including the Ambulance Service fleet replacement program, radio network infrastructure upgrades, new technology, and the medical equipment replacement program.

 

 

1 - 10   Infrastructure Statement 2014-15


Skills and education investment

Around $1.9 billion has been allocated for capital works to 2017-18 for education projects including:

 

 

$1.3 billion for new schools and upgrades at existing schools to meet the growth in student numbers and to improve facilities

 

 

$300 million for the TAFE construction program

 

 

$250 million for information technology works.

Protecting the vulnerable and enhancing government service delivery

Investment in family and community services, social housing, public order and safety, arts and recreation and government services includes:

 

 

$572 million in the Family and Community Services cluster

 

 

$2.0 billion for social and affordable housing projects

 

 

$176 million for ServiceNSW to improve State Government transactional services.

1.5 Infrastructure investment 2013-14

 

Total State infrastructure investment of $14.1 billion is estimated for 2013-14. This is $1.4 billion or 9.0 per cent less than the $15.5 billion forecast in the 2013-14 Budget, with changes principally reflecting a reduction in utility spending ($731 million) and a variation in the spending profile of road and rail projects over their expected term relative to initial estimates ($416 million).

Infrastructure investment in the general government sector is estimated to be $8.7 billion.

Major general government funded projects completed or planned for completion in 2013-14 include:

 

 

Great Western Highway, Woodford to Hazelbrook ($225 million)

 

 

Rail Clearways ($2 billion) and the Inner West Light Rail ($220 million)

 

 

Nepean Stage 3A ($47 million), Graythwaite Rehabilitation Centre ($35 million), Gulgong Multipurpose Services (MPS) ($7 million), Hornsby Hospital Adult Acute Mental Health Unit (MHU) and Child/Adolescent MHU ($34 million), Lockhart MPS ($8 million), Nepean Hospital car park ($23 million), Shoalhaven Regional Cancer Centre ($33 million), Blacktown Hospital car park ($24 million), and Wollongong Teaching and Training Accommodation ($5 million)

 

 

a number of COAG funded sub-acute projects including new MHUs at Blacktown, Shoalhaven, St George and Wagga Wagga hospitals and new Rehabilitation Units at Mt Druitt, Mona Vale and Nepean hospitals

 

 

10 school facility upgrade projects including Hurstville Public School and Killara and Ulladulla High Schools ($95 million) and TAFE works, to improve teaching and learning facilities.

 

 

Infrastructure Statement 2014-15   1 - 11


At $5.5 billion, infrastructure investment in the PTE sector for 2013-14 is estimated to be $961 million or 14.9 per cent below budget. Infrastructure investment for the electricity network businesses is forecast to be $592 million below budget largely due to better capital management at a time of subdued energy demand forecasts. Capital investment in the water sector is forecast to be $139 million below budget driven by a combination of procurement savings and reprioritisation of capital programs.

Major PTE sector projects completed in 2013-14 include:

 

 

replacement of 132kV Feeders 908 and 909 Bunnerong to Canterbury subtransmission substation ($153 million), Tomago to Stroud 132kV Transmission Line ($87 million), Intelligent Energy Network - 4G Network Build ($58 million) and Cheriton Avenue 132/11kV Zone Substation Establishment ($56 million)

 

 

upgrade of Boulder Bay Wastewater Treatment Plant ($25 million), Newcastle Sewer System Upgrade Stage 1 ($44 million), Maitland and North Rothbury Water Distribution Upgrade ($8 million), Murray River and Water-for-Rivers metering projects ($29 million) and Split Rock Dam Upgrade – Phase 1 ($9 million).

1.6 Existing assets and maintenance program

 

Existing assets

The State’s physical assets comprise land and buildings, plant and equipment and infrastructure systems. Examples include police and court facilities, TAFE facilities, public schools, transport networks, public housing and recreational facilities, as well as water storage and supply networks, electricity transmission and distribution networks and roads. Physical assets exclude inventories, intangibles and assets held for sale.

Table 1.4 shows that the State’s physical assets across both the general government and PTE sectors had a value of $265.4 billion as at 30 June 2013 and are estimated to have a value of around $277.4 billion as at 30 June 2014.

The value of physical assets net of depreciation is expected to increase during 2014-15 by $6.0 billion in the general government sector and by $6.1 billion in the PTE sector.

1 - 12   Infrastructure Statement 2014-15


State physical assets are recorded at fair value in line with accounting policies and standards. Where practicable, fair value is measured assuming an asset’s highest and most optimal use. An asset with no feasible alternative use may be recorded at fair value for its existing use.

As shown in Chart 1.7, the largest component of the State’s physical assets in June 2013 were infrastructure systems ($136.1 billion) including railways, roads, ports, dams and pipelines, with the balance comprising buildings ($60.8 billion), land ($53.4 billion) and plant and equipment ($15.1 billion). The land component value of physical assets has been separated from buildings, providing a clear distinction between built and non-built infrastructure.

 

Chart 1.7: State Owned Physical Assets: Value by Type, as at 30 June 2013

Control of the State’s physical assets is concentrated in a relatively small number of agencies as shown in Chart 1.8.

Infrastructure Statement 2014-15   1 - 13


Infrastructure maintenance

Agencies must ensure their infrastructure continues to support the planned delivery of services and is adequately maintained. Treasury guidelines require direct employee costs on infrastructure maintenance activities to be reported as part of an agency’s maintenance expenditure. This reporting of maintenance expenditure is to increase visibility and assist in the early identification of any shortfalls in maintenance spending. The result is a more comprehensive and consistent reporting of infrastructure maintenance costs.

The maintenance expenditure estimates for the general government and PTE sectors are shown in Table 1.5.

(a) The decrease in maintenance expenses between 2013-14 Budget and 2013-14 Revised is largely due to utility asset divestments being realised earlier than expected.

Expenditure on asset maintenance in 2013-14 is equivalent to 2.0 per cent of the Government’s estimated total built asset holdings as at 30 June 2014. This percentage is estimated to be 1.9 per cent for 2014-15.

Table 1.6 provides the value and composition of physical assets as at 30 June 2013 by agency for both the general government and PTE sectors.

Chapter 2: Infrastructure Strategies and Policies

2.1 Introduction

 

The program set out in this Infrastructure Statement demonstrates the benefit of applying the Government’s reformed infrastructure policy framework. The framework addresses the four major components of successful infrastructure delivery:

 

 

Planning – a single comprehensive infrastructure strategy for the State, with supporting plans, which are integrated with funding and project delivery

 

 

Project Selection – ensuring individual projects or programs represent value for money and are economically and socially justifiable

 

 

Funding – implementing a systematic approach to funding for infrastructure while maintaining the State’s triple-A credit rating

 

 

Delivery – ensuring all committed projects are delivered in a cost effective and timely manner.

Infrastructure NSW (INSW) plays a key role in this framework by independently advising the Government on investment priorities, driving key infrastructure in partnership with the private sector and managing the process of presenting projects to the Commonwealth Government for potential funding.

The NSW Government, led by INSW, has worked closely with the Commonwealth Government to align its requests for project funding with national priorities. Key outcomes include funding for WestConnex, NorthConnex and Western Sydney roads to support Sydney’s second airport at Badgerys Creek.

The Government is better utilising and increasing the potential pool of funds available for infrastructure projects. It has raised $6.7 billion for the Restart NSW infrastructure fund predominantly through its asset recycling program. It is developing and implementing innovative financing and delivery arrangements for major projects, including for WestConnex and NorthConnex (refer to Boxes 1.1 and 1.2).

 

 

Infrastructure Statement 2014-15   2 - 1


2.2 A comprehensive infrastructure strategy

 

The Government’s over-arching infrastructure strategy is the 20 year NSW Government State Infrastructure Strategy (SIS). The SIS in turn drives the immediate priorities set out in the five year, funded, State Infrastructure Plan (SIP) (Chapter 3 of this Paper).

The SIS and the SIP provide overall infrastructure priorities that align with the following plans and strategies:

 

 

the NSW Long Term Transport Master Plan (released December 2012)

 

 

the NSW Freight and Ports Strategy (released December 2013)

 

 

agency level Total Asset Management Plans which include 10 year capital plans

 

 

sectoral or regional infrastructure plans and funds including the Hunter Infrastructure and Investment Fund, the Local Infrastructure Renewal Scheme and the State’s flagship infrastructure fund, Restart NSW, of which 30 per cent is reserved for regional areas (with 10 per cent being reserved specifically for mining affected communities).

A key component of the Government’s prudent approach has been to ensure that its infrastructure plans are formed sustainably and that five year plans are fully funded within current budget estimates. As New South Wales’ budget position has improved, these plans have expanded.

NSW Government State Infrastructure Strategy (SIS)

The SIS sets out the State’s priority infrastructure projects and initiatives for the short (0 to 5 years), medium (5 to 10 years) and longer terms (10 to 20 years) given the State’s current funding envelope.

The Government’s SIS provides for effective infrastructure investment to support growth in the State’s economy and community living standards.

The Government is delivering the priorities identified in the SIS with 54 major projects (>$100 million) in the delivery stage. Highlights include the progressive delivery of nearly $5.0 billion in new and upgraded hospitals, near completion of the South West Rail Link, commencement of WestConnex, construction of the North West Rail Link and planning for Sydney’s Light Rail Future.

 

 

2 - 2   Infrastructure Statement 2014-15


State Infrastructure Plan (SIP)

The SIP represents the Government’s funded infrastructure priorities over the next five years, 2014-15 to 2018-19, and incorporates short-term priority projects from the Government’s SIS. The resultant investment will improve productivity, ease the cost of doing business and transform Sydney for the benefit of the whole state.

The SIP has been updated with this Budget to include additional priority projects. This includes investigation of a Sydney Rapid Transit system including a second harbour rail crossing and western extension, Western Sydney roads to support Sydney’s second airport at Badgerys Creek and accelerated delivery of WestConnex.

Chapter 3 of this Budget Paper contains the Government’s SIP and fulfils the requirement under section 21 of the Infrastructure NSW Act 2011.

NSW Long Term Transport Master Plan

In December 2012, the Government released the NSW Long Term Transport Master Plan.

The plan identified four main actions:

 

 

integrating transport services

 

 

modernising the transport system

 

 

growing networks to meet future demand

 

 

maintaining important road and public transport assets.

Consistent with these actions and the SIS, the master plan identifies both the priority infrastructure and the necessary service delivery changes required over the next 20 years to deliver on the objectives for the transport system.

The master plan is supported by modal delivery plans including: Sydney’s Rail Future (June 2012), Sydney’s Light Rail Future (December 2012), and Sydney’s Bus Future (December 2013).

NSW Freight and Ports Strategy

In November 2013, the Government released the NSW Freight and Ports Strategy. This strategy is consistent with the objectives of the NSW Long Term Transport Master Plan.

The aim is to provide a transport network that facilitates the efficient flow of goods to their market. With the freight task forecast to double by 2031, it highlights short, medium and long term tasks to improve freight movement on the network. It also provides a framework for governments, industry, and other stakeholders in guiding investments and other decisions important to enhancing freight logistics in NSW.

 

 

Infrastructure Statement 2014-15   2 - 3


The strategy means that government policies are guided by clear aims and achievable objectives, are proportional and accurately targeted, and are monitored for performance and progress.

It has been structured into three ‘Strategic Action Programs’:

 

 

Network efficiency – optimising the use of the existing network

 

 

Network capacity – whole-of-network approach to capacity and performance

 

 

Network sustainability – greater integration of freight with land use planning.

2.3 Project selection

 

Projects selected for delivery must be financially and economically justifiable. This is assisted by:

 

 

having strategic plans (starting with the SIS) which provide a strong context for project specification and selection

 

 

agencies developing their Total Asset Management Plans consistent with the Government’s plans (including the SIS)

 

 

ensuring each project is supported by a robust business case and an economic evaluation

 

 

Gateway Reviews

 

 

INSW requiring applicants for Restart NSW funding, including local government, to complete economic appraisals

 

 

INSW conducting a Capital Performance Review across agencies to lead a more consistent and smarter approach to infrastructure delivery

 

 

a sound process to evaluate unsolicited proposals ensuring value to the State.

Strengthening Total Asset Management

The aim of Total Asset Management (TAM) is to ensure existing and future assets meet the Government’s service delivery objectives. TAM strategies and 10 year capital investment pipelines are required of each asset intensive agency and inform budget decisions on infrastructure.

TAM is the foundation for asset management and planning at an agency level. This includes ensuring only assets needed for service delivery are held and surplus assets are available for divestment. Sound asset management requires appropriate management practices by agencies across the asset lifecycle. This covers planning, procurement, operations, maintenance and disposal.

An updated TAM policy was released in October 2013 and the Government is committed to further strengthening TAM in the NSW Public Sector. This will include options for enhancing the existing policy, procedure, guidance and support, and assurance mechanisms as part of Treasury’s Financial Management Transformation Program. The aim of this program is to establish a new, modern financial management framework for the NSW Public Sector by the 2017-18 Budget.

 

 

2 - 4   Infrastructure Statement 2014-15


Gateway Reviews

The Gateway Review system is the Government’s assurance program for capital projects over $10 million.

The Government introduced two new Gates in 2013:

 

 

Initiation/Justification Gate – this takes place at the concept stage before significant funds are expended and at the earliest point in the identification of a proposed service need or change

 

 

Gateway Health Check – this complements all gates by providing a point-in-time insight into areas of concern which may affect passage through the next gate or project outcomes. The Gateway Health Check confirms the project remains aligned to the approved project outcomes and will deliver the identified benefits.

Treasury is responsible for the Gateway Review of capital projects valued between $10 million and $100 million, in addition to Gateway Review’s of projects to be delivered by INSW. Major capital projects over $100 million are reviewed by INSW.

Reviews are conducted by discrete teams of experienced independent procurement practitioners. The reviews assess projects against seven criteria: service delivery, affordability – value for money, sustainability, governance, risk management, stakeholder management and change management.

Infrastructure NSW assurance

Infrastructure NSW’s objectives include the efficient, effective, economic and timely planning coordination, selection and funding of infrastructure. Project review and selection for the five year SIP and for recommending projects for Restart NSW funding follow a consistent and objective assessment framework and enhanced assurance gateway system.

This framework ensures projects:

 

 

are aligned with strategic priorities (in particular the SIS)

 

 

demonstrate economic benefits via benefit-cost assessment

 

 

have completed the relevant Gateway Review processes.

Infrastructure NSW Capital Performance Review

The overarching objective of the major project Capital Performance Review is to ensure every dollar spent in the forward capital estimates represents value for money for NSW.

The Capital Performance Review will build on the NSW Better Value Infrastructure Plan adopted by COAG in April 2012 to deliver better value in infrastructure provision.

 

 

Infrastructure Statement 2014-15   2 - 5


INSW will lead a multi-agency team to identify best practice governance of TAM, major project procurement, delivery, assurance and reporting. Improvements that are practical and readily capable of adoption by agencies will be implemented to drive efficient capital investment.

Unsolicited Proposals Guide

The Government recognises the private sector can offer innovative ideas, approaches and solutions to the State’s policy goals. It seeks to encourage the best ideas and solutions and a greater level of private sector investment and participation in projects, with rigorous planning and costing to deliver the highest standards of public value – and confidence to investors and the community. The Guide for Submission and Assessment of Unsolicited Proposals (the Guide) offers the private sector the consistency and certainty of a transparent and streamlined framework.

With many proposals received since the release of the Guide in January 2012, the Government has sought feedback from industry and reviewed and improved the guide and its underlying processes to potentially increase the quality of proposals received.

The Guide, as updated in February 2014, outlines seven minimum criteria for assessing proposals:

 

 

unique benefits of the proposal providing justification to negotiate directly

 

 

value to Government, encompassing economic benefit, service delivery, whole-of-life costs, risk transfer, timely achievement of objectives and qualitative outcomes

 

 

whole-of-government impact, including opportunity costs arising from deviations from Government priorities that would require a reallocation of funding

 

 

appropriateness of return on investment obtained by the proponent given project risks

 

 

capability and capacity of the proponent to deliver the proposal

 

 

affordability from the perspective of the Government

 

 

appropriate balance in the allocation of risk.

The following proposal is currently in Stage three of assessment which involves negotiation of a final binding offer:

 

Proposal

  

Details

NorthConnex (formerly known as the Transurban F3 to M2 Link)    Proposal to fund and construct a tunnel link between the M1 and M2 Motorways. The Proposal is expected to complete Stage three in late 2014.

 

 

2 - 6   Infrastructure Statement 2014-15


Since the release of the Guide, the following projects have successfully completed all stages of the Unsolicited Proposals Assessment Process:

 

 

Crown Sydney Resort Project, for the application for a restricted gaming facility licence at Barangaroo South

 

 

University of Sydney proposal to acquire the Queen Mary Building, Camperdown for affordable student accommodation purposes.

2.4 Systematic approach to funding

 

The Government is better utilising, and increasing, the potential pool of funds available for infrastructure projects by:

 

 

raising $6.7 billion for Restart NSW, a dedicated fund for infrastructure to improve the economic competitiveness of the State

 

 

working with the Commonwealth Government to secure support for infrastructure funding through an overarching Asset Recycling Agreement which includes a Commonwealth incentive payment of up to 15 per cent of the asset sale value recycled into public investment

 

 

securing nearly $7.0 billion of new Commonwealth Government funding for major projects including $3.5 billion for WestConnex (including a $2.0 billion loan to expedite the project), nearly $3.0 billion for the Western Sydney roads to support Sydney’s second airport at Badgerys Creek and $400 million for NorthConnex

 

 

applying Capital Planning Limits for major infrastructure portfolios (Health, Education and Transport) to provide longer term security of funding for the portfolios and allow savings to be re-allocated to other approved projects

 

 

developing options for contestable delivery of new services infrastructure in growth areas which will contribute to faster and lower cost development

 

 

implementing the findings of a review by INSW and Treasury, to better set and manage contingency allowances for efficiency gains and savings to free up funding for other projects.

 

 

Infrastructure Statement 2014-15   2 - 7


Restart NSW

In 2011, the Government established Restart NSW through the Restart NSW Fund Act 2011. The objective of the Fund is to promote economic growth and productivity by funding the delivery of major infrastructure projects.

 

Box 2.1: Restart NSW

Restart NSW has been capitalised from the proceeds of divestment transactions and other sources including Waratah bonds and windfall tax revenues. Restart NSW funds are focused on accelerating delivery of priority projects identified by INSW and in the State Infrastructure Strategy (SIS), including WestConnex and Resources for Regions. Consistent with the basis of the SIS, two of the strongest recurring themes within the Restart investment profile are improving transport connectivity and productivity and meeting local infrastructure needs in regional NSW.

Around $500 million will have been spent from Restart NSW by 30 June 2014.

The table below summarises aggregate receipts, commitments and reservations for future projects and programs presently under development.

Every single dollar currently in Restart NSW has been allocated or reserved towards vital infrastructure projects.

Box 2.2: Renewing Newcastle

Few regional cities have faced the extent of the structural challenges posed to Newcastle in recent decades. Consistent with its financing and investment strategy, Restart NSW is providing the capital necessary to help the city realise its economic transformation through reconnecting it with the natural advantages of its waterfront.

The Government has reserved $340 million from the Port of Newcastle transaction proceeds towards the urban renewal of the central city area. This is in addition to $60 million previously reserved in Restart NSW for this purpose and $60 million allocated from the Hunter Infrastructure and Investment Fund (HIIF).

By liberating the existing heavy rail corridor, land will be released and made available to realise its economic potential. Redevelopment of sites on and around the corridor will generate jobs and economic activity. More than 11 hectares of undeveloped land is located within 400 metres of Wickham, offering significant opportunities for development and economic growth. Further, the commencement of work on a new interchange and light rail corridor will provide certainty for neighbouring private investment proposals, and catalyse the renewal of economic opportunities for the people of Newcastle.

In light of the success of the Port of Newcastle transaction, the Government has identified a further project to aid Newcastle’s economic transformation. A further $150 million of Restart NSW funds will be reserved for the completion of the Newcastle Inner City Bypass, while an additional $100 million will be used from Restart NSW to fund infrastructure investment through the HIIF. This brings total commitments and reservations for Hunter infrastructure from Restart NSW to $650 million. This is additional to the $350 million allocated to the HIIF since 2011. This will bring total infrastructure commitments and reservations from Restart NSW and the HIIF for the Hunter region to $1.0 billion since 2011.

The link from Rankin Park to Jesmond has long been identified as a critical element to support the development of Newcastle’s future road network. Completing the bypass will see commuters and businesses share in the economic benefits of the works – easing congestion, cutting travel times and improving connectivity – and improve the functionality of Newcastle’s transport system. Consistent with INSW’s investment strategy, these works will be subject to INSW’s investment scrutiny, including a final feasibility study and business case, and its recommendation to the Government on final investment proposals.

Box 2.3: Revitalising Regional NSW

Redressing neglected regional infrastructure requirements is central to Restart’s investment mandate. In aggregate, 30 per cent of Restart’s investment portfolio is directed to regions outside Newcastle, Sydney and Wollongong.

Regional NSW’s need for a stronger economic infrastructure base and greater support for its future has previously been recognised through five specific Restart investment programs – Resources for Regions, Bridges for the Bush, the Cobbora Transition Fund, the Illawarra Infrastructure Fund and Water Security for Regions.

So far, more than $1.0 billion of Restart funding has been committed to regional NSW. This includes the ongoing Government commitment to allocating 3 per cent of funds from Restart NSW to the Resources for Regions program for mining affected communities. The $70 million allocation in the 2014-15 Budget, together with the additional reservation of $17 million brings the total for the program to $217 million.

Following the successful completion of the Port of Newcastle transaction, the Government has identified priority areas for the next round of strategic regional infrastructure investment, including:

 

 

significant additional funding for the Water Security for the Regions program

 

 

a further five regional programs under development

 

 

two specific projects.

All projects within these categories will be subject to INSW’s investment scrutiny, including a final feasibility study and business case, and its recommendation to the Government on final investment proposals.

Hunter Infrastructure and Investment Fund (HIIF)

In 2011, the Government established the HIIF to promote economic growth and enhance the liveability of the Hunter region. The Government initially committed $350 million to the HIIF over four years. Of this amount $332 million has now been allocated to projects, including $60 million towards the revitalisation of the Newcastle CBD.

Local Government Infrastructure

Effective local government infrastructure policy has a significant role to play in improving productivity.

The Government has committed $120 million to implement the Local Government Infrastructure Backlog Policy, consisting of:

 

 

financial assessment and benchmarking of councils by NSW Treasury Corporation

 

 

audits of each council’s local infrastructure backlog

 

 

a Local Infrastructure Renewal Scheme which offers councils with infrastructure backlogs State interest subsidies to help finance projects.

The first two rounds of the Local Infrastructure Renewal Scheme provided interest subsidies for loans worth $462 million. These subsidies supported 138 projects with a total project cost of $675 million. The projects include buildings, roads and bridges, airports, water and sewerage, waste management, stormwater and drainage, aquatic centres, sports facilities, and enabling infrastructure for housing developments. Round three applications, covering infrastructure projects valued at up to $523 million, are currently being assessed.

Contingency Review

A contingency component is required in the funding of capital works investments. This allows for costs that are difficult to precisely identify but may be required given the risk profile of a project. Major infrastructure projects are long duration, highly complex undertakings that are often significantly affected by external events. Efficient allocation and management of contingency provisions can free up funding for other projects.

In 2013, INSW and Treasury undertook a study with other Government agencies to better understand the amounts, usage and management practices relating to contingency. The study identified a number of opportunities to improve the allocation and management of contingencies leading to the development of guidelines to improve contingency management.

The Government is progressively implementing the guidelines to materially improve value for money in infrastructure delivery by reducing cost and reducing cost uncertainty.

 

 

Infrastructure Statement 2014-15   2 - 13


2.5 Effective project delivery

 

The Government has made several significant policy changes to ensure projects are delivered on time and on budget:

 

 

using strategic plans (including the SIP) to advance preparation by delivery agencies and by private providers who can rely on a project pipeline

 

 

establishing the Infrastructure Financing Unit in NSW Treasury to actively engage and work with the private sector as a potential services and finance partner to develop and implement innovative finance and delivery arrangements for major projects and services enabled through infrastructure

 

 

enhancing the NSW Government Procurement Policy

 

 

INSW oversighting and monitoring, and reporting to Government, on the progress of all significant projects (over $100 million)

 

 

INSW being actively involved in the development and delivery of key infrastructure projects, like the Darling Harbour Live project

 

 

using stand-alone delivery vehicles for major projects, like the Sydney Motorway Corporation which is delivering WestConnex, to focus both expertise and accountability

 

 

implementing new workplace guidelines which have been applied from 1 July 2013 to contractors delivering publicly funded building or construction work

 

 

instituting structural changes within major agencies, and across Government, to drive infrastructure delivery. For example:

 

   

the Transport Projects Division of Transport for NSW, a specialist centre which now manages all major projects across the portfolio

 

   

Health Infrastructure, an independent expert organisation charged with delivering all major health capital projects over $10 million on behalf of the Ministry of Health

 

   

constituting major project governance committees and advisory boards with experienced senior executives from across Government and the private sector, to drive significant project delivery and assurance for projects including North West Rail Link, WestConnex, CBD and South East Light Rail and Northern Beaches Hospital

 

   

constituting the Major Projects Executive Committee, comprising Chief Executives from central and infrastructure agencies, to supervise all major infrastructure projects which in turn reports to the Cabinet Sub-Committee for Infrastructure.

 

 

2 - 14   Infrastructure Statement 2014-15


Infrastructure finance

Infrastructure finance involves a range of tools that allows better utilisation of existing funding for infrastructure investments in NSW. These include Public Private Partnerships (PPPs), concession agreements, leases, vendor finance and other structured finance arrangements. NSW Treasury’s Infrastructure Finance Unit focuses on developing innovative solutions to enable the continued partnership with the private sector for major infrastructure and services.

PPPs are an approach to procurement and financing infrastructure that enables the appropriate risk transfer between the Government and the private sector on a value for money basis. This procurement method also refocuses infrastructure as an enabler for the delivery of Government services using leading world class standards and expertise.

The Government’s NSW Public Private Partnership Guidelines are based on the following principles:

 

 

PPPs should be procured in a professional and transparent manner, minimising tender costs and providing a fair opportunity to all prospective private sector participants

 

 

PPP delivery structures should be stable, with sustainable debt financing arrangements and robust commercial and financial structures

 

 

the Government should not guarantee private sector borrowings

 

 

innovative infrastructure and service delivery arrangements should be encouraged

 

 

information on contracts and tenders should be disclosed in a timely way.

In December 2013, the Darling Harbour Live project successfully reached financial close. This PPP was the first to implement the new conditional debt pay down structure used in response to recent financing challenges resulting from the Global Financial Crisis. The structure achieves significant whole-of-life savings for the State compared to traditional financing previously used in PPPs, while maintaining the benefits of transferring appropriate risk to the private sector.

Significant PPP projects currently in procurement and targeting financial close in 2014-15 include:

 

 

North West Rail Link – operations, trains and rail systems

 

 

CBD and South East Light Rail

 

 

NorthConnex (M1 to M2 Link)

 

 

Northern Beaches Hospital.

 

 

Infrastructure Statement 2014-15   2 - 15


Review and reform of procurement policy

The NSW Government has reformed its system for procurement of goods and services to deliver value for money, quality government services, and alignment with business needs.

The NSW Procurement Board Goods and Services Policy Framework and the Strategic Directions Statement 2013-14 outlines ways agencies can achieve the Government’s objectives of reducing red tape, increasing competition and innovation, and simplifying the procurement process for buyers and suppliers.

Priorities for 2014-15 are to improve procurement capability across the sector, implement effective category management and industry engagement, and drive strategic, agile procurement with a focus on outcomes.

Construction policy will also be harmonised during 2014-15, where appropriate. The reforms in goods and services procurement will encourage best practice procurement on government construction projects, improve security of payment for subcontractors, and enhance the reputation of NSW Government as a customer.

Guidelines for construction procurement

The Implementation Guidelines to the New South Wales Code of Practice for Procurement: Building and Construction 2013 deal with matters including:

 

 

protecting freedom of association laws

 

 

protecting independent contractors (including sub-contractors) from coercion

 

 

restrictions on over-award payments, unregistered workplace agreements and project agreements

 

 

ensuring that right of entry laws are appropriately applied on construction work sites

 

 

arrangements for Workplace Relations Management Plans on larger projects.

The guidelines apply to contractors, including prospective contractors, who participate in Government procurement processes for public building and construction work.

 

 

2 - 16   Infrastructure Statement 2014-15


Chapter 3: State Infrastructure Plan

3.1 Introduction

 

The State Infrastructure Plan (SIP) outlines the Government’s funded infrastructure priorities over the next five years, 2014-15 to 2018-19. The identified investments will transform Sydney and therefore New South Wales by improving productivity and easing the costs of doing business. It will also deliver improved services for communities throughout the State.

This SIP incorporates:

 

 

priority projects from the 20 year NSW Government State Infrastructure Strategy (SIS), released in December 2012 after considering the independent advice of Infrastructure NSW

 

 

projects currently underway

 

 

projects to begin within the next five years.

In addition to ensuring the delivery of basic services across the State, like education and health, infrastructure investments identified in the SIS aim to improve the productivity and growth of the State’s economy by:

 

 

unblocking supply chains, reducing bottlenecks and congestion and enabling goods to be delivered more efficiently to market, including from regional NSW, to international gateways such as Sydney Airport and the State’s key ports

 

 

stimulating and supporting job growth in the knowledge-intensive industries of Global Sydney, key urban employment centres including Parramatta, Liverpool and Penrith, new employment precincts in growth areas and established precincts, and in key regional centres

 

 

supporting the continued acceleration of “infill” and “greenfield” housing supply as the State’s population grows.

The 2014-15 SIP builds on the infrastructure program announced in the 2013-14 Budget. Projects funded for the first time in this Budget include an initial $1.4 billion of a $3.5 billion package of Western Sydney roads to support Sydney’s second airport at Badgerys Creek, and $233 million towards a $2.8 billion program for a new fleet of intercity trains.

In addition, the development of WestConnex has progressed, with the $1.8 billion Restart NSW contribution committed last year matched by $1.5 billion of Commonwealth funding. Work on NorthConnex has moved on to the planning approval stage, with a combined $902 million committed by the State and Commonwealth Governments.

 

 

Infrastructure Statement 2014-15   3 - 1


A Government priority is to improve regional water security by focusing on measures to prepare communities for drought conditions by enhancing local infrastructure. The Water Security for Regions Program is identifying projects with a potential value of up to $366 million, including connecting new bores to town water supplies and other pipeline and water storage projects.

Investment in health and hospital infrastructure is worth an estimated $4.4 billion over four years and will deliver a number of major hospital redevelopments including at Blacktown, Mt Druitt, Port Macquarie, Tamworth, Wagga Wagga, Dubbo and Campbelltown hospitals, currently underway, and new major hospital redevelopment projects soon to commence at Westmead, Gosford and St George hospitals.

The SIP has been developed to:

 

 

ensure that the highest priority projects and investments are funded in the Budget

 

 

introduce further discipline and an emphasis on value for money in infrastructure planning, funding and delivery

 

 

provide the community and industry with a more detailed picture of the major infrastructure project pipeline, which in turn contributes to increased innovation, competition and efficiency in delivering these projects.

Maintaining infrastructure is also an important Government responsibility. This is separately addressed in Chapter 1, with specific projects included in Chapters 4 and 5.

Some projects are funded solely by the State, and some are jointly funded with the Commonwealth, or involve private financing, as noted in the project descriptions. Restart NSW, the Government’s infrastructure fund, is also funding a number of key projects.

This chapter fulfils the 5-year State Infrastructure Plan requirement under section 21 of the Infrastructure NSW Act 2011.

3.2 Passenger trains

 

Greater Sydney’s rail network plays a vital role in the economic prosperity of the whole State and in the quality of life for those who work or live in urban areas.

The rail network is a complex system that has grown incrementally over more than 150 years. Meeting the needs of a growing population and improving customer service levels requires a new approach, delivering a mix of new and upgraded infrastructure, customer improvements and operational efficiencies.

 

 

3 - 2   Infrastructure Statement 2014-15


Sydney’s Rail Future sets a detailed strategic direction for the passenger rail network.

The following have been identified as strategic priorities for the State’s passenger rail network:

 

 

a new rapid transit system, commencing with the North West Rail Link

 

 

a second harbour rail crossing

 

 

implementation of the Opal card electronic ticketing system

 

 

fleet upgrades including a new fleet of intercity trains

 

 

stations upgrades and improvements, including accessibility

 

 

network and operational improvements.

The following major investments over the next five years contribute to delivering these strategic priorities.

3.3 Urban roads

 

Eighty per cent of passenger and freight movements in Sydney are made by road. As congestion increases, road freight productivity is impacted and time is added to daily commuter journeys. This has a real economic cost to the State.

Road and public transport investments are also often complementary and investments in all modes are being managed as part of the State’s broader infrastructure and transport strategies.

As the NSW Long Term Transport Master Plan indicates, targeted investment in the State’s road network will deliver steady improvements in the urban road network to boost productivity, grow the economy and create new jobs.

 

 

3 - 4   Infrastructure Statement 2014-15


The following have been identified as strategic priorities for the State’s urban road infrastructure:

 

 

completing the missing links on Sydney’s motorway network

3.4 Buses and light rail

 

Buses are an integral part of the transport system and are the primary form of public transport for people across large areas of greater Sydney. While buses provide flexible services, they have to compete for road space with cars and other vehicles. Congestion on Sydney’s roads impacts bus services, resulting in longer travel times and reduced reliability. Bus congestion within the Sydney CBD is particularly pronounced, with more than a thousand buses entering the CBD in the busiest hour during a typical workday morning.

Light rail currently plays a limited role in moving people around Sydney, but will play a far greater role in the future. The current light rail network consists of a single line, servicing the corridor between Central, Pyrmont, Lilyfield and to Dulwich Hill, with the Inner West extension recently opened to the public.

The Government has released Sydney’s Light Rail Future and Sydney’s Bus Future which are overarching strategic plans for development of these modes.

 

 

3 - 6   Infrastructure Statement 2014-15


The following have been identified as strategic priorities for the State’s bus and light rail infrastructure:

 

 

an integrated bus and light rail solution for the Sydney CBD as the CBD and South East Light Rail is delivered

 

 

new and improved services

 

 

targeted bus infrastructure improvements.

The following major investments over the next five years contribute to delivering these strategic priorities.

Bus Fleet Replacement and Upgrades

   $91 million (2014-15
financial year)

3.5 International gateways

 

Servicing increased air travel and container freight is critical to the New South Wales and Australian economies. Sydney Airport and Port Botany are respectively the busiest airport and second-busiest container port in the country. Together they are vital to the economic movement of freight and passengers interstate, and linking the State to international markets.

 

 

Infrastructure Statement 2014-15   3 - 7


Significant growth is forecast over the next 20 years at both these facilities. A number of reports have identified that Sydney’s airport capacity is limited by current operating constraints and will therefore face challenges to meet expected medium term demand growth. While Port Botany and Sydney Airport can provide much of the required additional capacity with appropriate reforms and upgrades to key transport links, the Commonwealth’s announcement to develop an airport at Badgerys Creek is a critical step in ensuring the continued economic success of New South Wales and Australia.

The following have been identified as strategic priorities for the State’s primary aviation gateways:

 

 

planning for a new airport at Badgerys Creek and delivering the roads upgrades to support it

 

 

improved utilisation of regional airports

 

 

delivering improvements to the Sydney Airport precinct’s road network

 

 

improving public transport to Sydney Airport.

The following have been identified as strategic priorities for the State’s sea and land gateways:

 

 

improving freight rail

 

 

upgrading major motorway connections to the port and airport precinct

 

 

delivering improvements to the precinct’s road network.

The following major investments over the next five years contribute to delivering these strategic priorities.

Project Name

   Estimated Total Cost /
Expense Profile
  

Description

Moorebank Intermodal Facility

   n.a.   

The Government is working with the Commonwealth and the private sector to develop the Moorebank intermodal site to increase the proportion of container movements carried by rail. This is to support growth in container freight volumes and reduce the growth rate in truck movements to and from the port precinct.

3.6 Regional and interstate transport

 

Given the often long distances between destinations, transport links in regional areas – particularly the road network – provide important connections for regional communities, and support regional economies by making employment and freight markets accessible. Rail also serves an important part of the regional transport task, particularly in the movement of freight, while air supports a limited but important proportion of both the passenger and freight task.

Long distances, low population densities and the nature of regional employment means the demands of regional transport customers can be very different to those in metropolitan areas.

The following measures have been identified as strategic priorities for the State’s regional and interstate transport infrastructure:

 

 

recognising the needs of communities

 

 

undertaking major investment in the road network linking the regions with Sydney and interstate destinations

 

 

supporting improvements on the major freight rail routes

 

 

upgrading regional road and rail networks

 

 

reserving regional transport corridors and investigating future investment requirements.

3.7 Energy

 

The electricity industry in New South Wales operates as part of the National Electricity Market and comprises generation, transmission, distribution and retail. The ownership structure of the industry has changed significantly over the past few years, with the sale of electricity retailers, progressive sale of Government-owned generation facilities and integration of the operations of the three electricity distributors. The market environment has also changed, with new technology representing a growing proportion of generation capacity, changing behaviour of consumers and the impact of climate change mitigation policies. Each factor alters the energy supply mix in the State and has a different impact on State infrastructure needs.

 

 

3 - 12   Infrastructure Statement 2014-15


The Government’s objective is to ensure customers have access to a secure, competitive, reliable and affordable energy supply. A number of challenges must be overcome to achieve this objective.

Historically, the State has relied on coal-powered generation to produce about 90 per cent of its electricity needs. Over the last five years alternate sources of generation, including from gas, have increased in prevalence, reducing the contribution of coal to around 80 per cent. However, recent trends in gas supply have begun to arrest this decline, with the expectation that the proportion of electricity generated by coal and renewables could increase over the next five years as gas-fired generators become increasingly uneconomical. One of the main challenges for the Government is ensuring a policy and industry framework that supports investment in energy infrastructure to produce the mix of energy, at the right time, to meet the needs of customers.

The cost of providing electricity to residential and business customers has increased in recent years following a period of significant investment in electricity networks to meet peak demand, meet higher reliability standards and replace aged electricity network infrastructure. Additional cost impacts include an increase in renewable energy generation driven by the Renewable Energy Target and increased pressure on coal-fired generators from the carbon tax. In response, the Government has acted to put downward pressure on electricity prices through a comprehensive series of reforms. These reforms have successfully identified approximately $5.4 billion in unnecessary capital and operating network expenditure over five years, with the result that price increases have been brought to within CPI.

The following initiatives have been identified as strategic priorities for the State’s electricity infrastructure.

 

 

sale of generating facilities

 

 

reform of electricity networks

 

 

supporting the national transmission network

 

 

developing the State’s resources responsibly.

   $108 million   

Construction of a new zone substation to achieve improved reliability of supply in the CBD. Work on the project is well advanced and is expected to be completed in 2014-15.

3.8 Water

 

Urban water demand has been relatively stable in recent years, largely because of an enduring effect on average demand patterns from drought and drought restrictions and water efficiency strategies.

The Government will continue to improve water infrastructure so that every community has water that meets drinking water quality and effluent guidelines and has a secure, sustainable and affordable water supply.

Meeting the challenge of securing the water supply of Sydney, the Lower Hunter and the regions for the long term and in drought is vital, as is protection from major flood events.

 

 

3 - 14   Infrastructure Statement 2014-15


The following have been identified as strategic priorities for the State’s water infrastructure:

 

 

planning for Greater Sydney and Lower Hunter region

 

 

flood mitigation

 

 

managing the resources of the Murray Darling Basin to achieve economic, social and environmental outcomes for our basin communities

 

 

increasing the level of support and investment in non-metropolitan urban water supply

 

 

maintaining and securing infrastructure for water storage and delivery.

The Lower Hunter Water Plan (the Plan) was released by the Government in April 2014. The Plan was developed in close consultation with stakeholders and the community. The Plan includes measures to supply, save and substitute water that are already in place or underway, like water efficiency and recycled water investments that will ensure water security in drought, and reliable supplies to meet the region’s longer-term needs.

New South Wales has signed onto the Inter-governmental Agreement to implement the Murray Darling Basin Plan in early 2014. Between 2014 and 2020, New South Wales will develop a new set of water resource plans across the Murray Darling Basin and establish a range of water data systems to enhance monitoring and reporting.

The Government has commenced a reform of the provision of bulk water in the State, starting with integrating the operations of State Water and the Sydney Catchment Authority under a common governance arrangement to support best practice in catchment management and bulk water storage and supply and capital investment.

3.10 Other significant programs

 

The focus of the SIS is on larger projects. However, the Government delivers social infrastructure in areas such as education which have significant annual capital programs made up of many projects less than $100 million. All of these projects and programs are essential to support state-wide service delivery and are referenced below to recognise their part in the overall infrastructure program.

Education and training

The Government has $25 billion invested in public education infrastructure. This infrastructure includes 2,219 schools and 130 TAFE campuses, accommodated in over 26,000 buildings.

Improving educational outcomes contributes to economic productivity, social opportunity and is an important goal for NSW 2021. Infrastructure provision is important to achieving this goal by facilitating access to quality education services.

 

 

Infrastructure Statement 2014-15   3 - 21


The Government continues to implement Local Schools Local Decisions, a policy to improve teaching and learning in public schools by increasing the authority of local schools to make decisions about how they deliver education and maintain facilities for students. TAFE NSW Institutes will also have increased autonomy and will be able to manage their businesses locally including management of assets.

The government school population is expected to grow from 752,000 students in 2011 to over 820,000 in 2021 – over 70,000 additional public school enrolments across the State.

While many new students will enrol at existing schools, new schools will need to be delivered over this period to cater for population growth. New schools are especially important in emerging growth areas and can influence the uptake of new housing as potential buyers consider whether a local school will be operational when they move in.

The following have been identified as strategic priorities for the State’s education infrastructure:

 

 

improving the performance and efficiency of existing assets

 

 

providing assets that respond to technological advances

 

 

implementing classroom design and learning methods that respond to the contemporary needs of students.

The 2014-15 capital program for the Department of Education and Communities is $405 million, whilst TAFE has a capital program of $77 million in 2014-15. The following major investments over the next five years contribute to delivering these strategic priorities.

Arts, recreation and the visitor economy

Our arts and recreational facilities support a vibrant and creative New South Wales. Cultural and sporting institutions attract and retain the people and skills that the State needs to compete in the global economy. New South Wales contains almost 800 galleries, museums, cultural institutions, libraries, venues and conservatoriums in metropolitan and regional centres.

New South Wales has the strongest arts and cultural sector in Australia and is home to almost 40 per cent of Australia’s creative industries and over a third of Australia’s creative industry employment. The sector accounts for approximately six per cent of the State’s employment, making a vital and growing contribution to the State’s economy1. In the year ending December 2013, New South Wales attracted approximately 9.8 million international and domestic cultural visitors who contributed an estimated $8.3 billion to the NSW economy2. Sydney has Australia’s largest creative community across fields including music, film, theatre, dance, visual arts, museums, literature and festival events. Ten of the 28 major performing arts groups in Australia are located within the State.

Our institutions – including the Art Gallery of New South Wales, the State Library of New South Wales, the Australian Museum, the Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences and the Sydney Opera House – provide a focus for Sydney’s cultural life, and in addition support the regions through lending and touring collections, offsite presentations, educational programs and online access to resources and digitised collections.

The Government recognises that adequate access to high quality cultural, recreational and visitor infrastructure is vital to a well-functioning society.

3 - 24   Infrastructure Statement 2014-15


Justice

The Government has invested around $5 billion in the Police and Justice cluster, mainly in buildings, including correctional centres for adults, detention centres for juvenile offenders, police and emergency services facilities and court and tribunal facilities. Although there are some immediate pressures within the correctional centres network, existing infrastructure generally meets capacity requirements.

Some major upgrade programs have recently been completed or will be completed soon, including a 10-year program of court upgrades due to finish by June 2015, and a series of police station upgrades to be completed in 2016.

Trends across the sector mean that demand for services is less dependent on physical facilities. The use of ICT is increasingly enhancing access to services with less need for a physical presence – for example, audio-video conferencing can be used for bail hearings.

The primary drivers for future capital expenditure are the need to further expand capacity of correctional centres for adults, upgrade existing correctional and court facilities to meet standards, investment in facilities that support new service delivery models, and ongoing roll-out and upgrades to ICT infrastructure. Some major ICT initiatives have whole-of-sector application; for example, the Joined Up Justice project.

Levels of infrastructure investment over the next ten years are expected to be consistent with that of the previous decade, due to a need to expand capacity. Some ongoing upgrade programs will be proposed and investment will need to address maintenance pressures.

The following have been identified as strategic priorities for the State’s justice infrastructure:

 

 

leveraging greater value from the existing infrastructure investment

 

 

developing a more comprehensive asset disposal strategy.

The following major investments over the next five years contribute to delivering these strategic priorities.
