Office of the Coordinator General

The Office of the Coordinator General was established in April 2007 to support major government and non-government initiatives that aid development of New South Wales.

The Office of the Coordinator General is located within the Department of Premier and Cabinet.

The establishment of the Office is one response to the advice from the Premier's Business Roundtable for a single point of contact for major investment projects.

A key objective of the Office is to ensure alignment between planning, investment and delivery for strategic public and private projects through a coordinated, whole-of-Government focus.

The Office of the Coordinator General receives and reviews major private sector infrastructure and investment proposals and considers possible strategies and actions that facilitate planning and implementation with a whole-of-Government focus.

In addition, the Office considers unsolicited proposals from the private sector which are designed, usually through infrastructure investment initiatives, to improve delivery of Government services. In such instances, the Working with Government Guidelines provides a framework for facilitating innovative solutions.

The Office has a pivotal role in the delivery of key government infrastructure projects. This includes expediting projects, remediating projects under stress and assisting the commissioning of key projects.

The framework for strategic infrastructure investment in New South Wales is articulated in the following documents:

• State Plan
• State Infrastructure Strategy
• Innovation Statement

These are supported by the:

• Sydney Metropolitan Strategy
• Regional Planning Strategies
• Urban Transport Statement
• Metropolitan Water Plan

and other strategies.

The role of the Office of the Coordinator General is to:

• support private sector project proponents
• assist and encourage private sector investment in major projects and infrastructure,
• facilitate the interface on major projects between Government and non-government proponents, and
• guide and expedite delivery of key government infrastructure projects.

The Office of the Coordinator General has a team of experienced specialists who support three key functional areas:

• Investment and Economic Development
• Infrastructure Management and Implementation
• Urban and Regional Infrastructure Strategies
