We are made up of several branches that lead and implement programs to strengthen regional NSW communities through critical infrastructure initiatives, environmental services, project delivery expertise and targeted investment attraction strategies.
Established in 1856, NSW Public Works is the state’s regional infrastructure advisory group and whole-of-government construction procurement system custodian. They bring design, engineering, and procurement expertise to complex projects.
