New South Wales Major Projects Conference 2010
"Delivering New South Wales' Future Infrastructure Needs"

With the recent release of the 2010-11 NSW budget, the State’s economic future will be secured with the biggest infrastructure building program in state’s history. The 2010/11 budget allocates $16.6 billion towards the 4 year infrastructure investment of $62.2 billion. This investment over the next 4 years will provide a huge boost to the economy as well as support up to 155,000 full time jobs each year. It will ensure that NSW is able to provide better public services and facilities and will help secure the State's energy & water Supplies.

Following the successful completion of the NSW Major Projects Conference in October ’09, where we attracted over 250 delegates with major key stake holders involved in major projects within NSW, we are excited to announce our NSW Major Projects Conference 2010 from 26 – 27 October 2010 at the Sydney Convention Centre.

The NSW Major Projects Conference 2010 is the leading construction & infrastructure conference in the state with an anticipated attendance of more than 250 delegates. The conference will be a 2 day event which will focus on the significant investments being made by the government into major projects that are currently being worked upon as well as projects that are in the pipeline. It will cover areas of Housing, Education, Health, Urban Planning, Justice, Correctional Facilities, Transport, Water, Energy, Urban Planning, Sustainability and the overall State Development.

Presentations from leading government and industry specialists will explore the design, planning, construction and implementation of major projects as well as a strategic analysis of the opportunities and challenges that will define these ambitious expansions for accelerating NSW's development.

With so much happening in NSW, the 2 day conference will provide its delegates with the perfect opportunity to discuss topics and issues presented and provide fantastic networking opportunities. The conference room will be set up in cabaret style with a question & answer segment in place to encourage and enable delegates’ opinions to be presented.
