Investment in our local infrastructure helps support local jobs while simultaneously building a better future for our community.
These projects form part of the NSW Government's $62.9 billion infrastructure investment program for the next four years - the largest investment of any state, supporting 160,000 jobs each year.
This program has been crucial in creating and maintaining jobs during the global economic downturn.
