Infrastructure NSW has developed a survey to assess industry readiness to deliver low carbon infrastructure and is calling on professionals from across the infrastructure project lifecycle for their views.

The NSW Government has committed to achieve net zero emissions by 2050.

In April 2024, Infrastructure NSW released its new Decarbonising Infrastructure Delivery Policy. This policy will apply to all NSW Government building projects valued over $50 million and linear infrastructure projects valued over $100 million. 

The policy will ensure that upfront carbon – the emissions generated during the production of materials and the construction of infrastructure assets – is considered consistently on NSW Government projects.

The survey results will provide insights into existing knowledge and capability on embodied carbon emissions across the sector and inform the development of training to help industry prepare for when the policy becomes operational in April 2025. 

Infrastructure NSW is keen to hear from people working across the sector, on both building and linear infrastructure projects, who will be impacted by the changes. 

If you are involved in infrastructure planning, business case development, design, procurement, or delivery, please take 10 minutes to answer the survey. All information collected will remain anonymous.
