Supporting infrastructure planning

public school

The State Environmental Planning Policy (Infrastructure) 2007 assists the NSW Government, local councils and the communities they support by simplifying the process for providing infrastructure in areas such as education, hospitals, roads, railways, emergency services, water supply and electricity delivery.

The policy consolidates and updates 20 previous State planning instruments which included infrastructure provisions. It also includes specific planning provisions and development controls for 25 types of infrastructure works or facilities.

The policy will play a key part delivering the NSW Government’s proposed $110 billion in infrastructure works to 2016.
