Transport for NSW’s Gateway to Innovate program aims to fast-track new and more effective ways of delivering the agency’s $72.3 billion infrastructure pipeline.
Gateway to Innovate is designed for delivery solutions to be pitched outside the standard procurement of projects and to remove barriers to implementation.
“This is a terrific example of government and industry working in partnership,” says Alison Kirk, Consult Australia’s NSW & ACT Manager.
“This is a unique opportunity for our members to partner with the largest procurer of infrastructure in New South Wales – and arguably the largest in Australia – to trial and test innovations that can improve efficiency, sustainability and ultimately deliver better outcomes for communities across the state.”
Transport for NSW will partner with chosen innovators to pilot on upcoming projects in the agency’s capital portfolio.
What does innovation on transport projects look like?
The Gateway to Innovation website has some inspiring case studies, from a new design that solves a significant productivity issue that has long plagued cable tunnels to an innovative rostering system that has halved employee travel time and bolstered workforce wellbeing by 90%.
“Complex challenges can’t be solved without us all working together. TfNSW’s collaborative approach paves the way for groundbreaking solutions that could shape the future of transportation projects,” Alison concludes. Find out more at the Gateway to Innovate website. Submissions close 5 July 2024.
